Noble Friends,
Today in 1588, the English mauled the Spanish fleet in the Battle of
Gravelines, a naval engagement off the coast of Flanders, part of the
larger fight to repel the Spanish Armada. The Spanish lost five ships,
and suffered many casualties and much damage. The battle prevented the
Spanish from picking up the Duke of Parma's army in the Spanish
Netherlands, an essential part of their plan for invading England:
