During the 16th century, the Society of Jesus, a religious order founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, emerged. Iñigo López de Recalde, a native of Azpeitia, initially dedicated himself to military service, as a result of which he took part in the defence of Pamplona (1521) against the French. Iñigo López was wounded in that battle, which forced him to retire from arms. This situation led to his preference for books and education; he invested his time in prayer, the apostolate, teaching, caring for the sick and defining a new religious order whose statutes were approved by the Pope in 1540.
