The English Armada The Greatest Naval Disaster in English History
Year: 2018 Language: english Author: Luis Gorrochategui Santos Genre: History Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 978-1-3500-1698-9 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 366 Description: The book is focused on an obscure, but fundamental, episode of the undeclared Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604). A year after the unfortunate attempt to attack England by the 'Spanish Armada', Queen's fleet failed to attacked Lisbon and La Coruña. Queen Elizabeth I was at first intentionally misinformed about this, but once she knew the grim reality, she ordered to silence it, by banning any publication about the English Armada (also known as the Counter-Armada or Drake-Norris expedition). Later successfully hide the disastrous result suffered by the English in that military campaign on the Iberian peninsula. Author's thesis is that little attention has been paid to the Counter-Armada episode, particularly in the English-speaking world, in contrast with the vast literature produced on the Spanish Armada. Furthermore, he thinks that with Portugal under English control, it would have opened new horizons for England in the Americas, considering Portuguese territories overseas. The book is based on numerous sources from different libraries and archives, and is divided into three sections. Firstly, the author gives an introductory account of the previous episode of the Spanish Armada and how this was distorted. The second section, covering the actual Lisbon and La Coruña attacks, forms the core of the book. The last chapters of the book cover the following years. It is worth pointing out that after the Counter-Armada, Drake did not receive any commissions from the Queen for some years, until 1595 when he suffered another big defeat while attacking the Spanish territories in America.
