Jalgi Hadi Garaipenera is a Youth Basque movement that claims other point of view about Nafarroa's Kingdom history. Spanish and French states promotes that Nafarroa's Kingdom had not been conquisted.
One of the most symbolic battles of this conquist occurred in the castle of Amaiur. In 1522 (spanish army first attack was in 1512 after that there were a lot of rebellions) 200 soldiers loyal to Nafarroa's king recaptured the castle. More than 10.000 spanish soldiers attacked the castle. After the battle, some of the rebel leaders were executed with poison and the castle destroyed.
