Fu una battaglia che vide contrapposti protestanti e cattolici nell’ambito del conflitto che nel XVI secolo coinvolse gli eserciti di Elisabetta I, la regina protestante d’Inghilterra, e di Filippo II, il re cattolico di Spagna. “Per le persone del tempo lo scontro nella Manica tra la flotta inglese e quella spagnola fu”, secondo un libro sull’argomento, “una guerra all’ultimo sangue tra le forze del bene e quelle del male”. - The Defeat of the Spanish Armada.
