do I have to specify that they are Spanish Conquistadors?

Question

Can I just say Conquistadors or do I have to specify that they are Spanish Conquistadors?

Answer 1

"Restall claims that in fact the conquistadors did not necessarily see themselves as Spanish but rather identified as Andalusians, Castilians, Aragonese, Basque, Portuguese, Galician, and even Genoese, Flemish, Greek and Pardo (half-black)."
