Podcasts about Spanish Armada

On this day in Tudor history, 25th June 1601, Peregrine Bertie, 13th Baron Willoughby, died of fever at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Born in exile during the reign of Mary I, Bertie was the son of Katherine Willoughby, Duchess of Suffolk and widow of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. A soldier, a diplomat, and a loyal servant to Elizabeth I, Bertie led troops in the Netherlands, fought at the Battle of Zutphen, and helped defend England during the time of the Spanish Armada. In this podcast, I look at the life and legacy of this often-overlooked Tudor figure, from his birth abroad to his final days at the Anglo-Scottish border. #TudorHistory #PeregrineBertie #AnneBoleynFiles #TudorSoldier #ElizabethanEra #OnThisDay #HistoryVideo #ClaireRidgway

The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 brought fame, both for England and Queen Elizabeth I, and greatly affected the future development of North America. Europe was stunned that such a small island nation had successfully defended itself against such a major aggressor and foreign diplomats began to court England as a possible ally. Elizabeth's popularity soared. The impact of the victory for the nation's self-confidence and the future of North American exploration and colonization cannot be overestimated. England’s success was celebrated in all manners of ways. Songs were written, medals struck, portraits painted and prints published. All lauded Elizabeth as a savior who stood firm to protect her nation, shared the glory of the success with the English navy and gave thanks for divine intervention. E127.

On May 28th, 1588, a fleet of a hundred and fifty-one Spanish ships set out from Lisbon, bound for England. Its mission was to transport a huge invasion force across the Channel. The Spanish King, Philip II, was determined to remove Queen Elizabeth from the throne and return the English to the Catholic fold. Two months later the mighty Spanish Armada was sighted off the coast of Cornwall. This tale of religious dispute, shifting political alliance and naval supremacy influenced the subsequent exploration, commercialization, settlement and colonization of North America. E125.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh an phacáiste comhrialtas chun dífhostaíocht a laghdú agus go mbeadh boilsciú ann, agus bhí plé cráite ann I rith an deireadh seachtain. I 1986 bhí coimhlint idir stailceoirí agus gardaí agus mar sin de tháinig an airm isteach chun é a stopadh I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 1986 bhí coiste nua sa chontae ag iarradh cuimhneacháin a bheith acu in Iarthar an chontae in aice leis an Spanish Armada. I 1997 throid Fianna Fáil faoin tSionainn. Sin Doctor & The Medics le Spirit In The Sky – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1974 tháinig Dolly Parton agus RCA Records amach le hamhrán darbh ainm I Will Always Love You – bhí sé a dara hamhrán ón albam Jolene. Rinne sí taifead ar an amhrán bliain roimhe agus scríobh sí an t-amhrán do Porter Wagoner. I 1987 shroich Whitney Houston uimhir a haon lena amhrán I Wanna Dance With Somebody – a dara hamhrán a shroich uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. Shroich sí uimhir a haon I dtír eile agus bhuaigh sí Grammy don amhrán I 1988. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Paul Giamatti I Meiriceá I 1967 agus rugadh aisteoir Jason Isaacs sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1963 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 6th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1975: the coalition package to cut unemployment and inflation was due to be ready by the weekend following agonising deliberations. 1986: a violent confrontation between corporation strikers and gardai ended in an army squad being forced to abandon a clean up operation in central dublin. 1986: A new committee was formed in co.clare to have a memorial erected in west clare to the spanish armada. 1997: Fianna Fail had a 'dogfight' over shannon. That was Doctor and The Medics with Spirit In The Sky – the biggest song on this day in 1986 Onto music news on this day In 1974 RCA Records released 'I Will Always Love You' by Dolly Parton, the second single from Parton's thirteenth solo studio album, Jolene. Recorded on June 13, 1973, the singer wrote the song for her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, from whom she was professionally splitting at the time. 1987 Whitney Houston had her second UK No.1 single with 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)'. It reached No.1 in over a dozen other countries and won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1988. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Paul Giamatti was born in America in 1967 and actor Jason Isaacs was born in the UK on this day in 1963 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

The Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) was an intermittent conflict between the Kingdoms of Spain and England. The conflict included much English privateering against Spanish treasure ships in the New World, and several major sea battles including the Spanish Armada in 1588 which influenced the subsequent exploration, commercialization, settlement and colonization of North America.

A naval juggernaut of 137 ships, 10,000 sailors, 2,500 guns, and 20,000 soldiers was launched at England by Philip II of Spain on May 28th, 1588: the Spanish Armada. Their goal? A full-scale invasion to dethrone Queen Elizabeth I and restore Catholicism, no less.  Unfortunately, their commander, the Duke of Medina Sidonia, had no naval experience. And the English got wind of the "secret" invasion months in advance. When they finally arrived, the Spanish were struggling with storms, rotting supplies, and low morale; and the comparatively cobbled-together English fleet darted in, fired, and slipped away before the lumbering Spanish could react. Then came the infamous “fire ships”—floating bonfires set toward the Spanish fleet, causing panic, chaos, and most importantly, shattering the Armada's crescent formation. With ships scattered and winds whipping up, the Spanish went into retreat — but the exit door was now a long, stormy road around Scotland and Ireland… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider why the Spanish believed victory was inevitable; reveal how the biggest toll on the Armada came AFTER the famous battle; and explain why it took so long for news of the victory to spread around England… Further Reading: • ‘Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada' (Royal Museums Greenwich): https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/elizabeth-i-spanish-armada • ‘The Spanish Armada: 10 Little-Known Facts' (HistoryExtra, 2018): https://www.historyextra.com/period/elizabethan/spanish-armada-facts-elizabeth-i-medina-sidonia-catholic-philip-ii/  • ‘England vs The Spanish Armada: The Defeat Of The Invincible Fleet' (Timeline, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZsTRdmnp_Y Love the show?

Deputy Mayor of Ventnor , Steph Toogood talks about Armada Day 2025. On May 21, 2025 there will be an event in Ventnor, Isle of Wight to commemorate the anniversary of the Armada's attempted invasion of England in 1588. History books will need to be re-written as a result of research by Ventnor resident David Baldwin over the past fifty years into the course charted by the Spanish Armada off the Isle of Wight in 1588.  There is now an opportunity to correct the misinterpretation of a letter by George Carey, Captain & Governor of the Isle of Wight, written in Carisbrooke Castle on the same day once the Armada had finally disappeared from sight beyond Selsey Bill.  With the battle off Dunnose key to the outcome, the Isle of Wight can now resume its rightful place in Armada history. Ventnor is acknowledging these Armadas, North and South of the Island, with presentation of a special ‘Almirante Recalde' annual competition Cup for bowls matches between Ventnor and Cowes, the first to be played at Ventnor Bowling Club against Plessey Bowls Club of Cowes on Friday morning 23rd May 2025 at ten o'clock. The Fundación Nao Victoria in Andalucia are supporting the Armada Coast 1588 by sending the galleon, Santa Maria from Spain to mount gun-salutes off Ventnor's coastline between St Lawrence and Bonchurch from 2-3pm to mark the opening of the dedicated Coastal and Downs Armada 1588 Heritage Trail on Wednesday 21st May 2025 by Ventnor Town Council, before sailing on to berth at Cowes until the 26th May. School bookings to go aboard Santa Maria in Cowes can be made through contacting Elena Campos at: ecampos@fundacionnaovictoria.org. The event will include a Four-Cannon Salute from the passing Galleon; raising of the Armada Coast 1588 flag, the Town Crier; Bells, Boules & Enactments; and an evening of shanties, sea songs and stories at The Spyglass Inn. , Ventnor For further details about the event, please contact: History enquiries – David Baldwin davidjpbaldwin@hotmail.com Programme enquiries – Cllr Steph Toogood steph.toogood@ventnortowncouncil.org.uk

Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558. Elizabeth’s long reign was one of the most brilliant in English history. Referred to as The Golden Age, it is remembered for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots the year before, and for many important voyages of exploration and discovery to North America. Known as the Virgin Queen, the colony of Virginia along the eastern coast was named after her.

One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) played a leading part in English colonization of America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. He was the younger half-brother of American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado". In 1595, Raleigh’s quest for the New World’s fabled ‘City of Gold’ led him on an exciting adventure in search of the legendary and mythical golden city of El Dorado.

The_Defeat_of_the_Spanish_Armada

In 1588, the dreaded Spanish Armada is coming closer and closer. It's up to the Queen’s Sea Dogs and navy to stop them, but will they succeed in convincing Queen Elizabeth that such action is necessary? And when the Spanish ships finally arrive, what will happen to the Virgin Queen and the citizens of London? And how will this affect the exploration, settlement and colonization of America? The eventual defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 brought fame, both for England and Queen Elizabeth I, and greatly affected the future development of America. Europe was stunned that such a small island nation had successfully defended itself against such a major aggressor and foreign diplomats began to court England as a possible ally.

Michael B. Barry – 1588: The Spanish Armada and the 24 Ships lost on Ireland's shores...with TRE's Giles Brown

For centuries, magic and warfare have been deeply intertwined, shaping military strategy, morale, and even battlefield outcomes. From Mesopotamian divination and Greek war omens to medieval sacred warfare and modern occult operations, supernatural beliefs have influenced how wars are fought and won. In this episode, we explore the forgotten history of magical warfare, revealing how esoteric traditions have been used to protect warriors, disrupt enemies, and even alter the course of history.Did John Dee's Enochian magic help defeat the Spanish Armada? Were Nazi leaders using occult knowledge for strategic advantage? And did British Wiccans perform a ritual to psychically deter Hitler from invading Britain? We examine historical records, esoteric practices, and modern interpretations of war magic, shedding light on one of history's most mysterious intersections of the mystical and the military.

Med en stor armada om 130 skepp och 20 000 soldater skulle Filip II av Spanien erövra, England och återinföra katolicismen. Från Flandern skulle ytterligare soldater föras över till det brittiska öarna. Världens mäktigaste flotta skulle krossa allt engelskt motstånd i Engelska kanalen och bana väg för invasionen. Men det blev inte så.Engelsmännen ledda av sin drottning Elisabet och med befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake och Sir Thomas Howard förhindrade landstigningen. I stället för ett intåg i triumf i London slutade allt med en spansk katastrof. Mer än 50 fartyg förliste och kom aldrig hem. Hälften av soldaterna och sjömannen på de spanska fartygen omkom.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden berättar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om en av de klassiska marinoperationerna i Europas historia.Konflikterna mellan Spanien och England handlade om flera saker. Engelsmännen hade under Elisabets far Henrik VIII valt att frånsäga sig katolicismen och skapa en ny statskontrollerad anglikansk kyrka. Den katolska tronpretendenten Mary Queen of Scots avrättades och genom släktband kom Filip III av Spanien att kunna hävda rätt till den engelska tronen. Stödda av bland annat påven skulle England erövras och Elisabet störtas.Dessutom hade engelska örlogsfartyg bedrivit piratverksamhet mot spansk handel i Karibien under befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake. På detta skulle det nu bli ett slut. Till detta kan läggas av engelsmännen länge stött upproret mot spanjorerna i Nederländerna vilket naturligtvis Filip II ville förhindra. Spanien ville återta de norra delarna av sina besittningar i Nederländerna och krossa upproret ifred utan inblandning.Kärnan i den spanska armadan var de stora örlogsfartygen som hade höga överbyggnader och mängder av soldater ombord för att kunna äntra och erövra motståndarnas fartyg. På samma sätt som under slaget vid Lepanto 1571 mot osmanerna var det en äntringsstrid som spanjorerna förväntade sig och som de var överlägsna på. Men engelsmännen hade under ledningen av bland annat Sir John Hawkins utvecklat sina örlogsfartyg och sin taktik mot att undvika äntringsstriden. I stället hade de engelska fartygen långskjutande kanoner och var bättre anpassade för strid på avstånd. Striden mot armadan 1588 utgör på flera sätt en vändpunkt i sjökrigföringen. Årtiondena efter Armadans misslyckande 1588 kom sjökrigföringen att genomgå en omfattande utveckling som inte minst engelsmännen skulle bli leda.Spanjorerna höll samma sin flotta när de närmade sig de brittiska öarna. De var skickliga på att segla i formation. Engelsmännen å sin sida inlät sig inte äntringsstrid utan besköt de spanska fartygen på distans. Ett sorts dödläge inträffade där ingen av kombattanterna kom åt varandra för ett avgörande. Spanjorernas plan att hämta soldater från Nederländerna misslyckades eftersom det var omöjligt att få soldaterna över Engelska kanalen så länge som den engelska flottan var intakt och kunde hota. Spanska armadan tvingades inse att den inte kunde lösa sin uppgift. Befälhavaren hertigen av Medina Sidonia måste desperat föra flotta hem via en rutt norr om de brittiska öarna. Det som slutligen beseglade armadans öde var stormarna norr om de brittiska öarna. Minst 30 fartyg förliste på den irländska kusten.Bild: Den spanska armadan av Jan Luyken, 1679, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Om man vill läsa något mer om Spanska armadan kan Rupert Matthew bok The Spanish Armada.

Although all kinds of tension brewed beneath the surface, the mid to late 19th Century saw a continued bonanza for Singapore. A prosperous combination of hard-working men and women, fearless entrepreneurs, and fortunes made in tin, rubber, and oil refining turned Singapore into the best thing to happen for the British Empire since Trafalgar, or maybe even the defeat of the Spanish Armada. World events, new technologies, and geopolitical shakeups all happened in such a way that Singapore benefited. Today's episode will take us up to 1942 and the fall of Singapore to the Japanese Army. Next time we'll see what happened after that.

A prosperous combination of hard-working men and women, fearless entrepreneurs, and fortunes made in tin, rubber, and oil refining turned Singapore into the best thing to happen for the British Empire since Trafalgar, or maybe even the defeat of the Spanish Armada. World events, new technologies, and geopolitical shakeups all happened in such a way that Singapore benefited. Today's episode will take us up to 1942 and the fall of Singapore to the Japanese Army. Next time we'll see what happened after that.

The idea of Scotland being caught up in the story of the Spanish Armada may seem bizarre, and yet wrecked off Fair Isle is one of the Spanish fleet's flagship vessels. How did this 650-ton ship come to end up in the North Sea? And how do the activities of the Armada relate to, among others, Mary, Queen of Scots? Jackie Bird is on a mission to find out.  This year marks 70 years since the National Trust for Scotland acquired Fair Isle, the most remote inhabited island in the UK. While now perhaps best known as a seabird paradise and the home to world-renowned knitwear, Fair Isle is also the site of Iron Age settlements, a Second World War German plane, a Stevenson lighthouse… and not far offshore, the remains of El Gran Grifón. Joining Jackie to discuss the Spanish ship and how it came to be so far north is Dr Colin Martin, a marine archaeologist who, with his colleague Sydney Wignall, excavated the wreck in 1970.  To enjoy more episodes of Love Scotland, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  For more information on Fair Isle, click here.

Welcome to Monday Night Live! From Pirate Adventures to Restoring Lost Treasures: Hidden History on Monday Night Live Description: In this week's episode of Monday Night Live, host Derek Arden welcomes longtime friend and former colleague, Godfrey Lancashire. With a fascinating background that spans banking, international hockey, and private investigation, Godfrey dives into a unique passion project he's undertaken: the discovery and restoration of a historic 16th-century artifact, once lost to time. Join Derek and Godfrey as they journey back to England's Elizabethan era, exploring swashbuckling adventures, historic landmarks, and a shipwrecked Spanish warship that played a surprising role in English history. Summary: Introducing Godfrey Lancashire: Banker, Investigator, and HistorianDerek Arden kicks off the episode by introducing his guest, Godfrey Lancashire, whose career is as varied as it is remarkable. After beginning in banking and playing an instrumental role as captain of the United Banks hockey team, Godfrey transitioned into private investigation, where he developed a knack for uncovering stories both hidden and forgotten. Today, he has become deeply involved in restoring a significant relic from Elizabethan England—one that speaks to his passion for history and adventure. A Dive into Elizabethan England: The Golden Age of ExplorationGodfrey takes viewers on an imaginative journey back to the Elizabethan era, a time of cultural and academic flourishing as well as daring maritime pursuits. Queen Elizabeth I, a strong proponent of education, saw the rise of scholars and explorers like William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh. It was an age where piracy was romanticized, and many individuals embarked on "noble" adventures on the high seas. Godfrey shares stories of exploration and commerce, where the spoils of piracy sometimes funded noble pursuits—one of which is the very school Thomas Hardy helped establish in Dorchester. Thomas Hardy's Legacy: A Pirate's Treasure TransformedGodfrey introduces Thomas Hardy, a “squire and pirate” from the small village of Frampton in Dorset, England. Hardy's adventures brought him wealth, which he used in 1569 to establish a school for boys, today known as Thomas Hardy School. This institution served as a pioneering educational center, and for centuries, it safeguarded a unique artifact: a beautifully carved wooden screen salvaged from the Spanish ship San Salvador, a ship that was once part of the Spanish Armada. Rediscovering a Lost Artifact: The Restoration of the San Salvador ScreenThis impressive wooden screen, standing at four meters high, was kept in Hardy's school building until it was transferred to new premises in 1927. Eventually, the screen was moved again but was sadly misplaced during a recent school theater renovation. Godfrey shares how the screen nearly ended up lost forever—discarded in a salvage yard—until an astute conservator recognized its historical value. Thanks to the conservator's sharp eye and dedication, the screen was carefully reassembled, piece by piece, with the support of the local community and generous donations. Preserving History with Passion: The Efforts Behind the Screen's RestorationGodfrey explains the meticulous restoration process, in which thousands of fragments were pieced back together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle. With expert knowledge, the team confirmed the screen's authenticity through materials testing, and the restored screen is now displayed in its former glory. The team has also uncovered fascinating details, including engravings and notes on the screen's reverse side, which offer glimpses into England's maritime past. Looking to the Future: Ensuring the Screen's Place in HistoryIn the final part of the interview, Godfrey speaks about the plans for the screen's future. Though originally housed in the school, discussions are underway to permanently display it at the Weymouth...

Video Version Only Available on Spotify and YouTube. The Lost Colony of Roanoke. Set during the late 1500s, a period known as the age of exploration and the height of the Tudor dynasty, the story unfolds amidst England's rise to global power, shortly after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. In 1587, under a charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh sent 115 colonists to establish an English settlement on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina. Led by Governor John White, the group included men, women, and children, including White's daughter, Eleanor Dare, and his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, who was the first English child born in the Americas. However, after White's return to England to gather supplies, he was delayed for three years by England's war with Spain. When he finally returned to Roanoke in 1590, he found the settlement completely deserted. The only clues left behind were the word “CROATOAN” carved into a fence post and the letters “CRO” etched on a nearby tree. These inscriptions led White to believe the colonists had relocated to Croatoan Island (now Hatteras Island), but he was unable to confirm this due to bad weather and damaged ships, which forced his return to England. No further expeditions to locate the colonists were ever mounted, and the fate of the settlement remained unknown. Several theories have been proposed over the centuries to explain the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists. One of the most widely accepted is that the settlers may have integrated with local Native American tribes to survive. Other possibilities include an attack by Spanish forces or that the colonists perished while attempting to sail back to England. Recent archaeological discoveries, such as English artifacts found on Hatteras Island, lend some credence to the integration theory, though conclusive evidence remains elusive. This episode explores these and other theories, while examining the ongoing cultural significance of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, and the modern technologies being used in the quest to solve this historic mystery.

**Discussion begins at 4:15**We are drinking some high tea and going back to England to talk about Queen Elizabeth I... not to be confused with the queen that just passed away.  RIP.  We're talking about Queen Elizabeth today because... guys... she could have been a man.  Queen Elizabeth I is the last of the Tudor monarchy in old England.  She was the daughter of the infamous King Henry VIII, and lived from 1533-1603, when she died at age 69.  She was known for being the Virgin Queen because she never took a husband, and pledged herself to the service of England.  During her reign she restored England to the Protestant Church, she executed the Queen of the Scots, Mary Stuart, and led the country to defeat the Spanish Armada.  But was Queen Elizabeth really the virgin queen?  Was it her who actually reigned for 54 years, or was it an impostor put forth to continue the Tudor dynasty?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 28 January 1596) was an English explorer and privateer best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition between 1577 and 1580. This was the first English circumnavigation, and second circumnavigation overall. He is also known for participating in the early English slaving voyages of his cousin, Sir John Hawkins, and John Lovell. Having started as a simple seaman, in 1588 he was part of the fight against the Spanish Armada as a vice-admiral.

As Elizabethan England's most famous sea captain, Francis Drake saw his fair share of sea-faring adventures – from scuffles with the Spanish Armada, to circumnavigating the globe. But his story also contains darker elements – including slave-trading, looting and the execution of his right-hand man. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne in our latest 'life of the week' episode, historian Robert Hutchison revisits Drake's dramatic life, and re-examines his contentious legacy.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) centers on the plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I of England, the arrest and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (Elizabeth's cousin), and King Phillip II of Spain's attempt to topple Elizabeth and install a Catholic monarch on the English throne, which culminates in England's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The film also portrays the complex emotional triangle involving Elizabeth, the English statemen, soldier, and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, and Elizabeth's lady-in-waiting, Beth Throckmorton, whom Raleigh marries and has a child with. (The film depicts Elizabeth as enamored with Raleigh). Directed by Shekhar Kapur, from a script by William Nicholson and Michael Hirst, the film is a sequel to Kapur's Elizabeth (1998). The cast includes Cate Blanchett (Queen Elizabeth I), Clive Owen (Walter Raleigh), Geoffrey Rush (Elizabeth's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham), Samantha Morton (Mary, Queen of Scots); Abbie Cornish (Beth Throckmorton); and Jordi Mollà (Phillip II of Spain). In addition to dramatizing this critical and memorable period of English history (albeit with some notable historical inaccuracies), the film provides a window into important and timely legal issues around torture, trial for matters of state, and piracy in Tudor England.  I'm joined by Alka Pradhan, a leading human rights attorney, adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, and Tudor history buff.

The attempted invasion of England in 1588 was doomed even before the first ship left harbor. The Spanish plan was fatally flawed and pretty much every commander knew it. The plan was audacious, but it was also weirdly vague. The Spanish also made a fateful choice when they entered the English channel that essential ensured that the English would have a tactical advantage during the entire encounter. King Phillip II may have constructed the largest fleet in Atlantic history, but was England ever really in danger? Tune-in and find out how the maritime high-ground, singeing the King's beard, and a doomed English Armada all play a role in the story.

In this thought-provoking "Pause to Ponder" episode of The Counter Narrative Podcast, Charles delves deep into the rich tapestry of Afro-Irish heritage, a journey sparked by his own mixed ancestry and the intriguing question: Is the term "Black Irish" rooted in reality or merely a myth? He embarks on a historical exploration, unraveling the origins and evolutions of this complex identity. From the legendary tales of the Spanish Armada to the vibrant stories of contemporary Afro-Irish figures like Phil Lynott, Paul McGrath, and Ruth Negga, this episode illuminates the contributions that have woven the intricate social and cultural fabric of Ireland today. Join me as I celebrate diversity, challenge perceptions, and uncover the nuanced stories of the Afro-Irish community, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of Ireland's diverse identity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecounternarrative/support

In 1588 King Phillip II of Spain constructed the largest fleet ever seen on the Atlantic in attempt to invade England. This attempt famously flopped. At the time this was celebrated as an English triumph in the face of impossible odds, and over the centuries English historians echoed this Elizabethan propaganda. This led to some in the Victorian era declaring that the defeat of the Armada had been one of the most pivotal moments in the history of the world. However, more recently the scholarly view of this event has changed. Has the reputation of the Spanish Armada been grossly inflated by patriotic myths? Tune-in and find out how fake milkmen, English pirates, and good old fashioned pluck all play a role in the story.
