NAVARRA DURING THE ITALIAN WARS
Checking events with connections to the Italian Wars I have found thies sequence about the Spanish invasion of Navarra. IMO that event shoud have a trigger condition according to the histotical situation already commented in the description. And with the new revised events of Italian Wars in which France gets a core on Milan since 1500 we can check this condition in the trigger of NAV event.
Here are my suggestions in yellow:

#-#In 1512, the war over Milan had Louis XII of France excommunicated and at war against the Holy League formed by the Pope, Spain, Venice and England. At the battle of Ravenna, the Spanish troops of Fernando killed his brother-in-law and French general, Gaston of Foix, nephew of Louis. Fernando, married to his sister Germaine of Foix, suddenly inherited the claim that Louis had been using in his attempts at incorporating Navarra to France. The English and Spanish were preparing an invasion of France through the Pyrenees and Fernando requested guarantees for the neutrality of Navarre. In a final diplomatic blunder, Jean and Catherine refused and entered into a defensive alliance with France at the treaty of Blois of 1512. Fernando invaded Navarra with the support of the Beaumonts, defeating the French and the Gramonts. The English troops under command of Dorset, left disgusted of being used, leaving the Basque flank exposed, but the Basques defended San Sebastian from the French, and the Duke of Alba successfully held Pamplona. Finally the French had to withdraw with great loss. Fernando obtained a legitimation for keeping Navarra when the Pope excommunicated the kings of Navarra for their alliance with the
schismatic Louis. The Beaumonts and the population, that was tired of the civil war, swore allegiance to the new king in exchange for the recognition of their former privileges, and the Parliaments crowned him as king of Navarra in 1513. Fernando, then Regent of Castille in the name of his daughter Juana the Mad, decided to incorporate the kingdom of Navarre to the kingdom of Castile instead of to his own kingdom of Aragon. Jean Albret would try to recover his kingdom in 1516 after the death of Fernando, and the French would try to conquer Navarra in 1520, taking advantage of the Comuneros rebellion in Castile, but they failed to raise significant support and were defeated by the Spanish armies. The Basse-Navarre, north of the Pyrenees was abandoned in 1530 due to the difficulty of its defense, and was ceded to France by the heirs of Albret in 1620.

#-#The alliance of Jean d'Albret and Louis XII of France in the context of the wars of Italy, precipitated the Spanish invasion of Navarra. The Beaumonts supported the invasion, and surrendered Pamplona to the Old Duke of Alba. The Gramonts were quickly overrun. The French armies under command of the Daulphin made numerous mistakes, ignoring the requests of Jean d'Albret, using the Navarrans and Gascoigners to lead the assaults and abusing the local population. The siege of Pamplona was a complete failure, and with the arrival of the winter they suffered grave loses, retreating back to France in a difficult march across the Pyrenees. By the spring of 1513, the Spaniards had resisted the French attack in the Basque region and were the masters of Navarra. That year, Fernando was crowned king of Navarra, and in 1515, he surprisingly decided to incorporate Navarra to the kingdom of Castile.

#-#After the death of Gaston of Foix, Duke of Nemeurs, at the battle of Ravenna, his claim to the crown of Navarra was ironically inherited by Fernando the Catholic, whose troops killed him, as Fernando was married to his sister Germaine de Foix. The kings of Navarra felt justly threatened as the little kingdom was a source of disputes between France and Spain for its strategic position. In the context of the wars of Italy, Spain and England were preparing the invasion of France across the Pyrenees, and Fernando requested guarantees of neutrality from Navarra. Catherine and Jean d'Albret, kings of Navarra, entered an alliance with Louis XII at Blois in 1512. Fernando found out about the secret alliance, and quickly invaded Navarra, conquering all the kingdom South of the Pyrenees before the summer was over. The kings of Navarra placed themselves in the hands of France too late to gain her from Spain.

EDIT: added the new MUS (no Papal States) event in the trigger conditions of NAV_241029.
