The Spanish Armada and the Protestant Wind - The Tudor Society

On this day in Tudor history, 30th July 1588, the once-mighty Spanish Armada, already damaged by the Battle of Gravelines, was scattered and driven northwards by violent storms. Many in England saw it as divine intervention — a “Protestant Wind” sent by God to defend the realm.

Innovation and Panic at the Siege of Antwerp 1584-5 by Loretta Goldberg - The Tudor Society

Thank you to Loretta Goldberg, author of The Reversible Mask: An Elizabethan Spy Novel for joining us today and sharing this excellent guest article on the Siege of Antwerp. During World War II, Sir Winston Churchill said, "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies." Illusion was a tactic used in 1944 to deceive the Nazis about where the allies would land; many historians believe that the Normandy beachhead held because of the deception. 336 years earlier, in 1588, England faced invasion by Spain with its Armada of 120 ships and 20,000 troops that were meant to be supplemented by comparable forces from Spain’s soldiers and barges in the Netherlands (known as the Army of Flanders.) Illusion then also saved England.

Spanish galleon sails in London 400 years after the Great Armada

The boat, which reproduces a 17th century model, will remain in London until 6 October, after having travelled more than 100,000 nautical miles around the world.

They look integral and original, but all of the red accents — ships on fire, city markers, compass points — were added in the late 19th century to enhance the maps’ salability.
