Spanish History Queens
Can you give me some information about the English Navy during the rule of Elizabeth 1?
I’ve been asked this question for my history project: `why was the Navy so important to Queen Elizabeth? ‘
I’ve struggled to get any info from the internet but i wonder if anyone has got any facts or figures.
I know about the Spanish Armada, but is there anything else you can give?
During the time of the Spanish Armada England had no standing navy just a band of essentially pirates. The Winds on the English Channel being the most significant in the Spanish Armada by forcing the Spanish to Anchor which the English Could then maneuver the few ships they had to win the battle. After that England entered a golden age of wealth and eventually developed a strong navy.
