Armada: 12 Days to Save England
TV Series · 60 min
When Elizabeth I ascended to the English throne in 1558, she rejected Philip II, Emperor of Spain, as a suitor. Thirty years later, he would lead a huge invasion force against her, seeking to depose Elizabeth and bring Protestant England back into the Catholic fold. It was a decision that would define them both. Historian Dan Snow looks at this monumental time in European history.
