During the reign of Charles I (Charles V of Germany), the concept of Tercio was created and their number was only 3*: The "Old" Tercios of Lombardia, Napoli and Sicilia . The number of men involved in the Tercio was changing from 8 000 to 12 000 men out of a total of 60 000 to 80 000 infantrymen. They were the elite force of the Empire. Charles I of Spain could maintain, at maximum, an army of 100 000 men. Charles I of Spain had made campaign principally against France, the Ottoman Empire and the protestant princes.
*In fact it exist some independent companies to garrison key fortresses and temporally Tercio could be raised for a campaign (especially for a north african campaign).
