wow there a lot of fascinating stories here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_assault_on_French_Florida

among other little tidbits:

On 20 July, 1565, the English adventurer John Hawkins arrived at the fort with his fleet ... The French introduced Hawkins to tobacco, which they all were using, and in turn he introduced it to England upon his return.
