商品簡介
Moving beyond the recent interest in the 1588 Spanish Armada incident, Loomie (history, Fordham U.) explores the policies of three Spanish Habsburg monarchs towards England in some of the less familiar aspects of religion, commerce, and peace time diplomacy from late in Elizabeth's reign through most of the Commonwealth. Among the 18 papers, first published 1963-89, are discussions of Bristol's Andalucian trade, the armada in 1597, Philip II and the Stuart succession in England, James I's Catholic consort, the link between Bacon and Gondomar, and London's Spanish chapel before and after the Civil War.
