EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the English Armada of 1589, a significant event during the Anglo-Spanish War. The document presented here is a statement of causes, penned by the chief commanders of Queen Elizabeth I's Navy, including Drake, Norris, and Essex. The expedition, led by Drake, aimed to seize the Spanish Indies fleet in the Azores. However, with the rest of the English fleet returning to England, Drake was left to continue his mission alone. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth I ordered Essex and Norris to return to England. The statement offers an explanation of the reasons behind the naval expedition, including the need to protect English interests in Europe, assert the monarch's right to the throne of Portugal, and counter the growing power of Spain under King Philip II. This facsimile, printed in London by Christopher Barker in 1589, is now housed in the Maria Pita House Museum in Corunna, Galicia, Spain. The print offers a glimpse into the complex political landscape of Europe during the late 16th century, a time marked by monarchies vying for power and influence. The English Armada, while ultimately unsuccessful in its primary objective, played a significant role in shaping the course of European history. The document's inclusion of the signatures of Sir Francis Drake, Sir John Norreys, and Lord Essex adds to its historical significance, providing a tangible connection to the individuals who shaped the events described. This print serves as a reminder of the intricate web of alliances, power struggles, and naval warfare that characterized Europe during the modern age.
