Now wait a minute. Did not all this slaughter of Spanish "Christians" come about because they came to the English Christians country in an attempt to convert the country back to Catholic by force including torture and murder? And they were sent packing? And their surviving ships fit only for scrap lumber?
Nice work Hastings. And the tensions between the two countries were as much political as they were religious.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
