Abstract: This chapter seeks to show that defence and foreign policy issues mattered to ‘public opinion’, and that they impacted upon the domestic political tensions – associated above all with the ambitions of Don Juan of Austria – which marked the reign, and that those tensions impacted upon defence. Some attempt is made to show that the Cortes of Castile continued to play a role; an attempt is also made to demonstrate the success of the system of conciliar government and the possibility of administrative innovation.
