It was also sometimes referred to as the Spanish Square in other countries and the formation was also much used by other powers, especially the Imperial Army of the Holy Roman Empire. Spanish tercios were the first modern European army, understood as an army of professional volunteers, instead of paddles for a campaign and hiring mercenaries typically used in other European countries. The formation dominated European battlefields in the sixteenth century and the first half of the seventeenth century and is seen by historians as a major development of Early Modern combined arms warfare. The Tercios were the main troops of kings as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and other reigns in Habsburg Spain.[citation needed]
