I hope I have been able to help, and good luck with this article. I enjoyed reading it. I think it is important now that you go through it carefully to make sure that I haven't introduced any factual inaccuracies in the process of copy editing. Some passages required me to guess a little at what was meant, and I may have guessed wrongly. For example, in the section I have now called 'Attempted encirclement', there is a passage about an improvised star fortification, planned but not built, by the Italian general Ventura de Tarragona, and I wasn't quite sure which period this referred to. I also noticed just a moment ago, in the Introduction section, that the siege lasts until November in the opening sentence, but is relieved by Luis de Haro in October in the closing sentence. Check this and insert the correct date, so that the two are consistent.
I re-named the sub-section 'Circumvallation' because it is a technical word that many general readers will not have come across. I hope the phrase I have suggested fits properly. If it doesn't, change it.
The References section I altered a little because, given the abbreviated references in the Notes section, the full reference needs to be able to be quickly found, so the word used to identify that reference, e.g. Ericeira, should be the very first name in the full reference and easily spotted.
