"I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman,👩 but I have the heart ❤ and stomach of a king, 🤴 and a king 🤴 of England 🇬🇧 too." Queen Elizabeth Tudor the first.
A queen who left 10,000 British sailors to die in the port of illness and hunger to save their pay? You're probably right, it's what you deserve. Victorian historians of the 19th century made you believe in an England that has never really existed. But you still prefer the sweet lie to the bitter reality.
Below are the words Elizabeth spoke when she visited her troops in the field as they prepared for battle, during the nine-day onslaught by the Spanish Armada. My loving people, we have been persuaded by some, that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects. And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honour and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realms: to which, rather than any dishonour should grow by me, I myself will take up arms; I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, by your forwardness, that you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you, on the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble and worthy subject; not doubting by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and by your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over the enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people. Queen Elizabeth I - 1588 Following the defeat of the Spanish Armada, Britain became the dominant world power and remained so for centuries.
you meant,the english armada at cartagena de indias in Colombia the biggest defeat of the counter armada by Blas de Lezo and 2 more english armadas heading to the kingdom of spain defeated by a single woman in galicia Her name Maria Pita.
