Alvaro de Bazan was perhaps the greatest admiral at the time, having defeated the Ottomans, French, English, and Portuguese on all occasions--never defeated. If he hadn't died the Spanish Armada could have succeeded. An admiral for 50 years, I don't think Alvaro would have made the boneheaded mistakes Medina de Sidona did.

1:13: "Dump his wife."
I applaud Charles for defending the interests of his aunt and cousin.

"The English plan was to take Santander, Lisbon, and the Azores"
the English abandon Santander for deeming it too defended, and instead attack the smaller Coruña
the English are then ROUTED from Coruña by a force of civilians and some marines
the English then decide 'you know what? I think we can still besiege the much larger capital city of Lisbon'
bruh.

The Anglo-Spanish War wasn't merely a draw, contrary to the portrayal in this documentary; rather, it stood as a resounding victory for Spain. By 1604, the battered English economy could no longer withstand the relentless strain of maritime warfare, leading to the signing of the Treaty of London. England yielded to all Spanish demands: it renounced support for the Dutch rebels, opened the English Channel to Spanish maritime traffic, and put a stop to the activities of privateers in the Atlantic Ocean. Viewed as a defeat by the English themselves at the time, the treaty sparked a failed attempt to overthrow King James I. Consequently, the pirate Sir Walter Raleigh, who had defied both the treaty and the king's orders by persisting in his futile attempts to assault Spanish vessels, faced execution.

31:46 NEVER try to cross the bridge when you are the defender. The Total War series has taught us this lesson many times.
