Kings and Generals explores the lesser-known chapters of the Anglo-Spanish War from 1585 to 1604 in this captivating historical journey. Dive into the aftermath of the English Counter-Armada of 1589, uncover daring exploits in the Netherlands, and witness the epic showdowns in the Atlantic. From the daring raid on Breda to the legendary stand of the 'Revenge' at Flores Island, each episode unfolds a tale of valor and tragedy.
Join us as we recount the events of 1596, where intrigue at the court of Philip II leads to the sack of Cadiz by Admiral Lord Howard. The repercussions echo in the ill-fated Second Armada of October 1596, a calamity known as ARMADAgeddon. Discover the Islands Voyage of 1597, as Robert Devereux and Walter Raleigh set out to intercept the Spanish treasure fleet, only to face a formidable foe in General Juan Gutiérrez de Garibay.
The saga continues with the Third Armada in the late summer of 1597, a final attempt to conquer England. Fan-favorite commanders like Martín de Padilla and Juan del Aguila take the stage in a dramatic narrative of storms, hurricanes, and the relentless forces of nature thwarting Spanish ambitions.
Immerse yourself in this forgotten era of history, where the clash between England and Spain unfolds beyond the famous 1588 Armada, revealing untold stories of courage, strategy, and the unpredictable whims of the seas.
