Sir Francis Drake? On Google "History of Maria Pita at La Coruna". Hope this is correct.
Wikipedia says - Sir John Moore - in the Peninsular Wars.
From spanish wikipedia

Maria Greater Fernandez de Ca'mara and Pita ( Sigr�s , 1565 - 1643 ), well-known as Maria Toots , was a heroin of the defense of Corunna in 1589 against the English Navy commanded by admiral Drake .
Ah, Maria Toots. Didn't she meet Drake at Cape Horn?
