SPAIN IS THE MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE IN THE WORLD
PHILIP OF SPAIN, ADEVOUT CATHOLIC
HAS PLUNGED EUROPE INTO HOLYWAR
ONLY ENGLAND STANDS AGAINST HIM
RULED BYAPROTESTANT QUEEN
Come, my daughter.
Isabella.
God has spoken to me.
The time for our great enterprise has come.
England is enslaved to the devil.
We must set her free.
Fotheringhay Castle - Mary Queen of Scots' prison
I sacrifice Spain's forests...
to build the greatest fleet that ever sailed.
Elizabeth...
why are you leading your people to hell?
Whore.
Lousy pirate!
You pirates have gone too far.
My King is very angry.
You play the game very well, my young friend...
but don't you sometimes feel an overwhelming...
desire to say what you're really thinking?
I daren't even think what I'm really thinking.
You're thinking, perhaps...
that you'd far rather be home.
You're very wise, your majesty.
Majesty,
Elizabeth has come to know of our enterprise.
Then we will attack as soon as possible.
God has abandoned Elizabeth.
England must be crushed.
Certainly, majesty.
What news of the Jesuit?
His mission proceeds as planned, majesty.
The fleet must be ready to sail in a month.
That's impossible, majesty!
Impossible is not God.
Only a miracle.
Exactly...
a miracle.
God's miracle.
Yes, majesty.
They have letters in Mary Stuart's own hand.
All of England cries out for her death.
My daughter, how would you like to be Queen of...
England?
A sweet Christian lady...
slain by a Godless, childless bastard.
Blood...
must pay for blood.
Elizabeth...
bastard.
I call the legions of Christ to war!
Blood-soaked virgin.
She will pay...
with her country,
herthrone...
and her life!
We'll be driven onto the rocks.
Drop anchor.
Our orders are to proceed with all haste.
If we don't drop anchorwe will break formation.
Drop anchor!
Hurry.
Hurry!
Let's go!
Drop anchor!
Fire ships!
Raise the anchors!
Raise the anchors.
Hurry!
Load the cannons.
Cut the rope!
Elizabeth is darkness,
I am light.
Oh God Almighty calm yourwrath.
Your mighty wind has humbled our pride.
Our ships have been destroyed.
Our armies have perished.
This is yourwill, Lord.
The loss of the Armada was the most humiliating defeat in Spain's naval history.
Philip died ten years later leaving Spain bankrupt.
England entered a time of peace and prosperity.
