[The Spanish Armada]

The Spanish Armada was a fleet of warships Spain gathered together in an attempt to defeat England. At issue were: supremacy over the seas and empire building; the desire to defeat what was perceived as heterodox (Anglican) Christianity; to put a Roman Catholic on the Throne of England and to challenge the leadership of a brand new, untried Queen Elizabeth I. The English were able to float some ships afire between those of the Spanish which caused mayhem and destruction. While this chaos ensued, stormy weather came up out of nowhere and basically completed the task of destroying the Armada.

Spain really never regained supremacy of the seas after this event.

People loved the customs and festivals during Elizabethan period that were held each year.

Almost all of the Elizabethan Customs and festivals held each year were part of the church which they were required by law to attend. Since the Christian church celebrated many things throughout the year, it was a custom for all Elizabethans to celebrate these occasions. 

Protestantism is the form of Christian faith and practice, which originated with the Protestant Reformation, a movement against what the Protestants considered to be errors in the Roman Catholic Church. This idea was first advocated by Martin Luther and John Calvin. Initially an Augustinian friar, Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money.His theologychallenged the authority of the Pope by teaching that the Bible is the only revealed knowledge from God. The term "Protestant" was first used for German princes who issued a proor dissent against the edict of the Diet of Speyer. Since the protestant reformation, many churches site this as heresy.
