Sunset at Lacada Point, The Giant's Causeway If you seen my stories from Monday night you will have seen I made my return to the cliffs at the Giant's Causeway. This was one of the images I had hoped for on Saturday evening, overlooking the famous chimney stacks at Lacada Point, but it was far too windy and dangerous to be so close to the edge. Initially I was worried the journey was a waste as there was so much cloud which was moving in a similar direction to the setting sun. Hope started to build when I caught a glimpse of some rays shining down from beneath the clouds so it was a matter of waiting for the sun and lovely under lots. Ps I got the colour issue resolved regarding my uploads.

May 21, 1527 – Birth of King Philip II of Spain in Valladolid, Spain The son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and his wife, Isabella of Portugal. The culture and courtly life of Spain were an important influence in his early life. Though Philip had good command over Latin, Spanish, and Portuguese, he never managed to equal his father, Charles V, as a polyglot. While Philip was also a German archduke of the House of Habsburg, he was seen as a foreigner in the Holy Roman Empire. The feeling was mutual. Philip felt himself to be culturally Spanish; he had been born in Spain and raised in the Castilian court, his native tongue was Spanish, and he preferred to live in Spain. This would ultimately impede his succession to the imperial throne. Known in Spain as "Felipe el Prudente" ('"Philip the Prudent'"), his empire included territories on every continent then known to Europeans, including his namesake the Philippines. During his reign, Spain reached the height of its influence and power. This is sometimes called the Golden Age. The expression "the empire on which the sun never sets" was coined during Philip's time to reflect the extent of his dominion. During Philip's reign there were separate state bankruptcies in 1557, 1560, 1569, 1575, and 1596. This was partly the cause of the declaration of independence that created the Dutch Republic in 1581. A devout Catholic, Philip is also known for organising a naval expedition against Protestant England in 1588, the Spanish Armada, which was unsuccessful, mostly due to storms and serious logistical problems. Philip was married four times and had children with three of his wives.Philip's first wife was his first cousin, Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal. The marriage produced one son in 1545, after which Maria died 4 days later due to haemorrhage. Philip's second wife was his first cousin once removed, Queen Mary I of England. By this marriage, Philip became jure uxoris King of England and Ireland, although the couple was apart more than together as they ruled their respective countries. The marriage produced no children.

July 29, 1588 – Defeat of the Spanish Armada in the Battle of Gravelines by the English Navy The Spanish Armada was a Spanish fleet of 130 ships, under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia with the purpose of escorting an army from Flanders to invade England. After the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1587, Philip's hopes of placing a Catholic on the English throne were crush. He turned instead to more direct plans to invade England and return the country to Catholicism. The strategic aim was to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England and the Tudor establishment of Protestantism in England, with the expectation that this would put a stop to English interference in the Spanish Netherlands and to the harm caused to Spanish interests by English and Dutch privateering. In 1588, he sent a fleet, the Spanish Armada, to rendezvous with the Duke of Parma's army and convey it across the English Channel. However, the operation had little chance of success from the beginning, because of lengthy delays, lack of communication between Philip II and his two commanders and the lack of a deep bay for the fleet. At the point of attack, a storm struck the English Channel, already known for its harsh currents and choppy waters, which devastated large numbers of the Spanish fleet. There was a tightly fought battle against the English Royal Navy; it was by no means a slaughter (the Spanish lost 5 ships whilst the English lost none), but the Spanish were forced into a retreat, and the overwhelming majority of the Armada was destroyed by the harsh weather. Whilst the English Royal Navy may not have destroyed the Armada at the Battle of Gravelines, they had prevented it from linking up with the army it was supposed to convey across the channel. Thus whilst the English Royal Navy may have only won a slight tactical victory over the Spanish, it had delivered a major strategic one—preventing the invasion of England. #englishroyals #englishroyalty #englishmonarchy #tudordynasty #tudorengland #thetudors #elizabethi #elizabeththevirginqueen #phillipii #spanisharmada #spanishroyals #spanishroyalty #royals #royalty #royaleurope

Otd, August 9, 1588, Queen Elizabeth I appeared before the troops that had gathered at Tilbury Fort in anticipation of a Spanish attack, and gave one of her most famous and powerful speeches, known as the Tilbury speech. The men had been gathered by her good friend, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in anticipation of the expected invasion by the Spanish Armada. Of course, the Spanish Armada wouldn’t get that far, but nobody knew that at this time. There are actually no reliable eye-witness accounts regarding Elizabeth’s appearance on that day, but it is said she wore armor while giving her rousing speech. In Elizabeth the Great, 1958, Elizabeth Jenkins wrote: “A steel corselet was found for her to wear and a helmet with white plumes was given to a page to carry. Bareheaded, the Queen mounted the white horse. The Earl of Ormonde carried the sword of state before her, Leicester walked at the horse’s bridle, and the page with the helmet came behind." While historians in other books have written very similar accounts, there is no firm evidence that Elizabeth dressed like that on that day. Like others have said, I like to think she did though. There are actually three versions of the speech that Elizabeth I gave to the troops at Tilbury. The first is recorded by Dr Leonel Sharp in a letter to the Duke of Buckingham, thought to have been written sometime after the Duke of Buckingham's 1623 marriage expedition to Spain. Sharp's is the most famous rendition of Elizabeth I's speech, and I will post it in the comment section so you can read that if you’d like. The second version of the Tilbury Speech is one recorded in 1612 by William Leigh, in his sermon "Quene Elizabeth, Paraleld in Her Princely Vertues", where he described Elizabeth appearing before her troops "with God in her heart, and a commaunding staffe in her hand.” The third version of Elizabeth’s speech appears beneath the painting of "Elizabeth at Tilbury" in St Faith's Church, Gaywood. It was commissioned by Thomas Hare (1572 – 1634), the rector, and is dated 1588, although it may well have been painted later. Continued below⬇️

La brève et tumultueuse histoire du château Dunluce a connu notamment l’épisode du naufrage sur ses côtes d’une galéasse de l'Invincible Armada, La Girona. En 1588, la flotte espagnole qui s’est engagée par la Manche contre la marine anglaise, décide de regagner l’Espagne en contournant l’Ecosse et l’Irlande par le Nord. Mais un ouragan passe sur l’Irlande, l'une des pires tempêtes qu'ait connu la région, et drosse une partie de la flotte vers les plages irlandaises, où de nombreux navires font naufrage. Le naufrage de la Girona constitue un des épisodes les plus dramatiques de l'Invincible Armada en Irlande, car il représente la plus grande perte de vies. En effet, la veille de la tragédie, la galéasse a été rejoint par deux autres équipages naufragés et comptait à son bord 1300 hommes. Dans la nuit du 26 octobre‬ 1588 le navire s’écrase contre les côtes rocheuses d’Antrim près de château Dunluce. Seulement 9 personnes survivent, aidées par le seigneur du lieu MacDonnell. Ce dernier profite à l’occasion pour récupérer une partie de la cargaison du navire ainsi que trois canons qu’il installe dans les corps de garde du château. La cargaison vendue a servi à la restauration du château Dunluce. 260 corps des naufragés rejetés sur la plage ont été enterrés au cimetière de Saint-Cuthbert à Dunluce. Dans les années 1967-68 les plongeurs belges ont découvert l'épave de la Girona et ont ramené à la surface le plus important trésor de l’Armada jamais découvert, une fortune en bijoux exposée aujourd’hui dans l'Ulster Museum à Belfast. On the night of ‪26 October‬ 1588, one of the galleass of the Spanish Armada, La Girona, sank off the Antrim coasts close to the Dunluce Castle. The sinking of La Girona is one of the most dramatic episodes of the Invincible Armada in Ireland, as it represents the greatest loss of life- the ship was wrecked with 1300 men onboard. Only 9 survivors. #spanisharmada #dunlucecastle #northernireland #antrimcoast #castlesofireland #causewaycoast #universalviews #history #ireland_gram #ireland #irlande #bushmills #irish #gameofthroneslocation #seascape #landscapephotography #green

Elizabeth Tudor was born on September 7, 1533, as the daughter of King Henry VIII of England and Anne Boleyn. Before Elizabeth was three years old, Anne Boleyn was executed by adultery under Henry VIII’s orders, which led to Elizabeth being declared illegitimate and losing her rights to the throne. However, she regained her place in the line of succession, in 1543, with the Third Act of Succession. Henry VIII died in 1547 and was succeeded by Edward VI, his son with Jane Seymour. During her brother's reign, Elizabeth lived with Catherine Parr, her last stepmother, and Thomas Seymour, the then Parr’s husband, until it was discovered that the couple were abusing the girl. Edward died in 1553 and was succeeded by Mary Tudor, Elizabeth's eldest sister, Catherine of Aragon's daughter. During part of the reign of her sister, who was Catholic, Elizabeth was accused of plotting against her along with Protestants and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Queen Mary I, who was married to Philip II of Spain, died without heirs in 1558, making Elizabeth the new monarch. Elizabeth I was crowned Queen of England on January 15, 1559. During her reign, Elizabeth reversed her sister's Catholic measures and accomplished the Anglican Reformation of her father. However, not all her Catholic subjects accepted this, plotting to place Elizabeth's Catholic cousin, Mary Stuart, on the English throne. Mary was the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor and considered by many to be Elizabeth’s heiress. Though they tried to be friends in the letters, the political situation led to the two queens being placed as rivals, and Mary was executed for treason in 1587. From all threats, Elizabeth held firm in power and brought England to the Golden Age, increasing foreign trade, colonizing regions in the New World and defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588. Elizabeth had several suitors (and favorites, like Robert Dudley) during her lifetime and denied them all, as she feared losing her power to a man. Thus, The Virgin Queen died on March 24, 1603 as the last Tudor monarch, being succeeded by James VI and I, son of Mary Stuart, then King of the Scots and the first King Stuart of England.
