Slavery was abolished ... but in some ways crept back in through customs that became laws, creating the conditio0ns that would eventually spark the 1950s-70s civil rights movement.</div>

Two figures, both religious ministers, dominated the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s: Rev. Martin Luther King and (Minister) Malcolm X. They had very different views on how to achieve their goals.<br />
<br />
King believed in peaceful protest, such as the huge (200,000!) march on Washington in 1963 where he delivered his 'I have a dream...' speech, and civil disobedience, refusing to obey the segregation in place.<br />
<br />
Malcolm X felt this wasn't enough; he called for 'black power' ... "by any means necessary", including violence.<br />

This has notably been expressed through controversial early rap artists such as Public Enemy and Ice-T (I've picked out examples free from strong language; much of their material is not suitable for KS3).<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLzy1pwphEdHT8aWem0WN93IJzPoVhN7eP" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj9SeMZE_Yw">Fight the Power</a></b> (play only until 4mins; strong language follows) is a strong example of the direct link to, and often critique of, the civil rights movement with modern conditions.<br />
<br />
A feminist might note that, notwithstanding Rosa Parks, this is an historic issue largely viewed through the actions and speech of men - and to some extent continues to be today.<br />
<br />
Two men defined very different approaches to the issue: Malcolm X (radical convert to Islam and figurehead of the Nation of Islam and the Black Power movement, which also spawned the Black Panther Party) and Rev. Martin Luther King (Christian minister who preached a non-violent form of protest, and has eventually received mainstream recognition as a key figure in American history).<br />
<br />
As you create your account of the Civil Rights movement in 1950s/60s America you need to come to some judgement on these two central figures. You also need to reflect on and include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>the source for ANY/ALL information you find</li>
<li>make it clear when you're quoting</li>
<li>a brief summary of sources: did you find any you didn't think you can trust as accurate? why? a good historian pays close attention to sources (was the Bayeau Tapestry fair and accurate?!) </li>
<li>what were the causes of the civil rights movement - you need to include slavery, the economic growth of the US in the 1940s/50s, constitutional issues and the right to vote, Jim Crow Laws, the continuing North-South divide on race, segregation...</li>
<li>what were the key events and people who sparked the movement (court cases and rulings, Rosa Parks, Malcolm/Martin, Black Panthers, Olympics and black power salute, Mohammed Ali, global atmosphere of revolution and rebellion in the 1960s - were there comparable movements in France, Britain etc? ...)</li>
<li>what were the strategies used by the movement? </li>
<li>what are the theories around Malcolm/Martin's deaths?</li>
<li>why is there no Malcolm X Day?</li>
<li>do many of the sources you accessed make much reference to Malcolm X, or does King dominate</li>
<li>what were the outcomes of the movement?</li>
<li>in your view, using quotes to support your argument, did the movement succeed? Are there any signs from presidential elections (current and recent) or wider issues around policing that might suggest not? Has segregation ended; has bussing succeeded?</li>
<li>you could attempt to make contact with African-American schoolchildren of your age for more views</li>
<li>be careful with how you use terms to describe race and ethnicity</li>
</ul>

<br />
<b><a href="http://everything2.com/title/King+John+in+Ireland">EVERYTHING2: KING JOHN IN IRELAND</a></b><br />
Challenging read. Quite a long history of his involvement in Ireland. Sample quote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The most serious question of government that John faced in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>
was "a question of how to exercise some degree of control over
feudatories protected by customary law, a problem which every ruler in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> had to face at one time or another." He needed to create a bureaucracy--much as he had in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/England" title="England">England</a>--to exercise control even when he traveled outside the region. The office of <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/justiciar" title="justiciar">justiciar</a>, created by <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Henry+II" title="Henry II">Henry II</a>, was the first step towards this power. The justiciar served as the king in a region when the <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/monarch" title="monarch">monarch</a> himself was absent, on campaign or in another part of his <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/empire" title="empire">empire</a>. The <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/justiciar" title="justiciar">justiciar</a> had a council of the main landholders who advised him; from this council would grow the notion of a <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/parliament" title="parliament">parliament</a>. The justiciar also had many clerks who performed all the routine tasks of running a <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/colony" title="colony">colony</a>. John established an <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/exchequer" title="exchequer">exchequer</a> in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a> to look after all of his financial interests in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>. The exchequer was located in <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/Dublin+Castle" title="Dublin Castle">Dublin Castle</a>, which also began to print Irish coins with the image of a <a class="populated" href="http://everything2.com/title/harp" title="harp">harp</a> during John's reign.</span></blockquote>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>TASK:</b></span></span> In pairs or threes, read each other's <span style="color: magenta;"><b>memoir </b></span>(<span style="color: magenta;"><i>like a diary written when you are older looking back at your life</i></span>) entry on the middle passage.<br />
Sum up what you have learnt from this, and identify anything else you think should be covered in the memoir.<br />
Comment on how convincing you think the memoir entry is: does it read like it is written by a desparate, terrified, confused young boy/girl who has been grabbed from their village, marched in chains to the dock and thrown on a boat, crammed in amongst 100s of others, with little food or water, no toilet, and people dying around them ... all while not really knowing where they are going?<br />
<br />
Take notes on the feedback you receive; you will be re-drafting your memoir entry.<br />
<br />
Use the remaining time to take notes from the resources below, some of which we will use in the next lesson. Note points which you can use to make your memoir more convincing and detailed.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE MEMOIR</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This topic is assessed through a memoir you write as we go along. Your entries need to reflect what you've learned, and can include quotes from specific sources that you (as the slave) may have encountered. As it is a memoir, you could also reflect on events or opinions that occur a little later than each stage, as you are looking back on your life in 1865...</span><br />

This is the best of the lot, a detailed depiction that mixes quotes from historic sources, recreations, interviews with modern academics and a voiceover to link all this. The brutal reality, the use of fear as a means of controlling desparate slaves, the spread of death and disease, comes across strongly.<br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where did it come from?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How did it spread (detail the time period and countries effected; if typing this, include a map)?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What statistics are available to illustrate the impact of the Black Death (a) across Europe and (b) in England?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scotland wasn't effected at first - how did the plague spread over Hadrian's Wall?</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What were <i>some </i>of the cures people of the time believed in? Comment if you can on what this tells you about medieval society.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What impact did the Black Death have on England? Specifically, why did some poor people actually benefit?</span></li>
</ul>
A good historian will include at least one specific source, noting where a quote comes from and evaluating whether you think it is reliable or not.<br />

by William the Conqueror to assess the extent of the land and resources

books, in the space of around a year. William died before it was fully
completed.

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At Christmas 1085 he commissioned a survey to discover the resources and
taxable values of all the boroughs and manors in England. He wanted to
discover who owned what, how much it was worth and how much was owed to
him as King in tax, rents, and military service. A reassessment of the
tax known as the <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/glossary/default.htm#geld">geld</a> took place at about the same time as Domesday and still survives for
the south west. But Domesday is much more than just a tax record. It
also records which manors belonged to which estates and gives the
identities of the King’s <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/glossary/default.htm#tenant">tenants-in-chief</a> who owed him military service in the form of <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/glossary/default.htm#knight">knights</a> to fight in his army. The King was essentially interested in tracing,
recording and recovering his royal rights and revenues which he wished
to maximise. It was also in the interests of his chief barons to
co-operate in the survey since it set on permanent record the tenurial
gains they had made since 1066. </span> (<b><a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/discover-domesday/">nationalarchives</a></b>)</blockquote>

<div align="left" style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The first proper castles built in England were the Motte and Bailey castles.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The term motte and bailey castle comes from Norman French words for mound and enclosed land.</div>
<div>
<div class="bodyText" style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 20px;">

Who introduced the Motte and Bailey Castles to England?</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The <a href="http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/bt.html" style="color: #ff6600; font-weight: bold;">Normans</a> from France, introduced the Motte and Bailey castle to England, when they invaded the country in 1066. It is believed that as many as 1000 Motte and Bailey Castles were built in England by the Normans.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
<span class="subHeader" style="color: #333399; font-size: medium; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.2em;">How were Motte and Bailey Castles built?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The most important part of the Motte and Bailey castle was the Keep. It was built on a huge mound (the motte). Mottes ranged from 25 feet (8 metres) to over 80 feet (24 metres) in height</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The sides of the <strong>motte</strong> were so steep that it would have been impossible to run up them in one go For added potection, a deep ditch was dug around the bottom of the motte.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
At the bottom of the <strong>motte</strong> was the <strong>bailey</strong>. The bailey varied in size from one to three acres.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
Inside the bailey, lived the followers of the Lord who ran the castle. There were many buildings inside the bailey including stables, storehouses, bakeries, kitchens, houses, and quarters for soldiers.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
A strong wooden fence (<strong>palisade</strong>) surrounded the buildings.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The <strong>bailey</strong> was surrounded by a ditch, called a <strong>fosse</strong>.</div>

What were the advantages of motte and bailey castles?</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
Motte and bailey castles were quick and cheap to erect - - some only took a couple of weeks!</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The huge motte with its timber tower on top gave the defenders an advantage.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The bailey was designed so that any point on its circumference (outer edge) would be within bowshot of the tower.</div>
<div class="subHeader" style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #333399; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.2em; line-height: 20px;">
What were the disadvantages of motte and bailey castles?<br />How and why did Norman castle building material change?</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
Wooden castles were not very strong.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
The wooden structures caught fire easily.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
Stone was much stronger</div>
<div style="background-color: #c0dffd; color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">
From around 1100 onwards, people began to <a href="http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/castles/normancastles.htm" style="color: #ff6600; font-weight: bold;">build castles in stone</a>.</div>

<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first record of a motte and bailey castle in France appeared at the start of the 11th Century. The first recorded motte in England was in 1051 when French castle builders were building one for the English king in Hereford. However, the French were unpopular with the local population and the French builders left without anything substantial being built.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After his victory at <a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval-england/hastings/">Hastings</a> in <a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval-england/1066-2/">1066</a>, <a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval-england/william-the-conqueror/">William</a> moved around the south coast to Dover. Here he built his third English castle after Pevensey and Hastings. The motte and bailey castle at Dover took just eight days to build – according to William of Poitiers who was William’s chaplain. Was such a feat possible?</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Building castles then was very labour intensive. William and his men were invaders and his army would have had to be on a constant guard especially in the immediate days after Hastings. Research on one of William’s motte and bailey castles at Hampstead Marshall shows that the motte contains 22,000 tons of soil. This motte took fifty men eighty days to build. Using this as a guide, the motte at Dover would have needed 500 men to complete in eight days. It is possible that local towns people were coerced into working extremely hard to complete the task. However, building a motte was a skilled achievement. The mottes were built layer upon layer. There would be a layer of soil that was capped with a layer of stones that was capped with a layer of soil and so on. The stone layers were needed to strengthen the motte and to assist drainage.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">William accepted the surrender of the Anglo-Saxon nobles at Berkhamsted Castle, north-west of London – arguably his finest motte and bailey castle. This meant that he did not have to fight for London – and the people of London were spared their city being torched.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">William started his reign as king of England with uncharacteristic diplomacy. He allowed the Saxon nobles to keep their land and he tried to learn English. However, for two years up to 1068, he was faced with rebellions throughout his new kingdom. William responded by marching his feared army to a trouble spot and re-asserting his authority. He then had a castle built there – a very visible sign of the Norman’s power. Castles were built in Exeter, Warwick, Nottingham, Lincoln, Huntingdon, Cambridge and York. However, this series of castle building did not cause the problem to disappear. Those who rebelled against William’s power, gathered in the north of England. In 1069, they targeted the most obvious sign of William’s authority – the castle of York. This castle was not heavily defended and the Normans soldiers there were beaten and the castle was burnt to the ground.</span></blockquote>

Exiled as a young man (just 18) by Edward the Confessor, he became a mercenary, returning to England in 1069 to find his brother's head impaled where his land and property once was. Enraged to hear Normans boasting about this, he killed 14 of them at a feast ... their head's replaced his brother's above his old house!<br />

Along with the former Saxon earl of Northumbria, Morcai, he led a rebel force to Ely, which William struggled to defeat - many of his soldiers died when a wooden causeway across the treacherous marshes collapsed. Hereward and Morcai joined the Danish king there, and looted Peterborough Abbey for gold ... which the Danish king fled with ... and which also caused the Ely monks to betray him to the Saxons, showing them how to safely get across the marshes. Hereward escaped to the surrounding countryside, the Fens.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is not known how long Hereward the Wake lived as outlaws in the forests of the Fens. But he apparently held out against the Normans until King William was persuaded to come to terms. Hereward the Wake was given his lands back and reference to his lands are made in the <a href="http://www.medieval-life-and-times.info/medieval-history/doomsday-book.htm">Doomsday Book</a>.

The great rebel became part of the ruling class again, his sister marrying a prominent Norman and William returning his land. That's one version; there are conflicting accounts!<br />

Hereward's former gaoler persuaded the king to negotiate again, and he was eventually pardoned by William. The Estoire des Engleis, written by Geoffrey Gaimar claims Hereward lived for some time as an outlaw in the Fens, but that as he was on the verge of making peace with William, he was set upon and killed by a group of Norman knights. Even after his death, people still visited a wooden castle in the Fens that was known to the peasants as Hereward's Castle.

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>HORRIBLE HISTORIES...WILLIAM'S STRUGGLES WITH HEREWARD AND ELY</b></span><br />
William struggled to defeat the rebels at Ely, who had picked their defensive base well. He tried laying planks across the marsh, but this collapsed, killing many soldiers.<br />
<br />
He brought in witches to curse the rebels ... shockingly, this failed!<br />
<br />
Bribery won out ... monks who feared Hereward and the rebels would rob them as they had done the Peterborough monastery betrayed them, telling William's men how to safely cross the marshes.<br />
<br />
William won the Battle of Hastings, but he faced a long fight to defeat his remaining opponents, determined to oppose and undermine Norman rule and the feudal system that transferred wealth and land from many of the previous, Saxon elites.<br />

...and it had to be good, as the Spanish had a vastly superior army and navy. There seemed little real hope that Elizabeth and the Protestant Church of England that helped fuel Phillip's rage, would survive...<br />
<br />
Elizabeth pledged to be right there in the midst of battle (didn't work out so well for Harold Godwinson back in 1066...), and made strong, clear religious references to help boost her army's resolve and determination to fight to the death if need be (and it seemed like it would be!)<br />
<br />
She also tackled head on any fears that a woman wouldn't match Phillip as a leader.<br />
<br />
The famous Tilbury speech was given after the major, decisive Battle of Gravelines - there was still more to be done, and further invasion attempts were anticipated, so this was no <i>lets all chill out, job done </i>speech, but a further call to arms.<br />
<br />

This battle is STILL seen as a key event in the history of Britain, and remains a source of national pride and self-identity for some, placing Britain as a powerful, independent island nation.<br />
<br />
Just as with the Battle of Hastings, luck and the weather would play a major role!<br />
<br />
Below, I use two video sources to list some key points on the background to the war, and why Spain lost. Here are some useful resources for your own wider reading, and to look deeper into this major moment in European and global history - setting the scene for an English/British empire that would cover more than half the globe, often replacing Spanish rule!<br />

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/tudors/adams_armada_01.shtml"><b>The BBC</b></a> - always worth checking! This uses some complex language; here's an extract, looking at what fuelled Phillip's very personal rage at Elizabeth:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Philip II was born six years before Elizabeth I in 1527 and died five
years before her in 1598. Between them 'el rey prudente' (the prudent
king) and the virgin queen dominated the second half of the sixteenth
century. Quite unusually for reigning monarchs of that period, they
actually met. This occurred in May 1555 while Philip was king consort of
England and when Elizabeth was brought to Hampton Court after her
imprisonment at Woodstock. Neither has left any personal recollections
of the meeting, but from the wariness with which they treated each other
thereafter no great rapport seems to have been established.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But Philip did harbour a grievance. He claimed the credit for
bringing Elizabeth back to court and arranging a reconciliation with her
half-sister (according to one account he observed the meeting between
them from hiding). It was at this point that his doubts about Mary's
ability to conceive were confirmed by her hysterical pregnancy, and in
the absence of an heir of their bodies he gave his support to
Elizabeth's ultimately uncontested accession in 1558. This assistance
she refused to acknowledge. Backing Elizabeth was not a comfortable
decision, for he harboured few illusions about her religious allegiances
and he appreciated that he was probably abandoning English Catholics to
their fate. A sense of responsibility inspired his offer of marriage to
her in 1559 - a gesture strongly opposed in Spain - and lasted for the
rest of his life.</span></span></span></blockquote>

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">why Phillip declared war:</span></span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li>religious crusade: "I have dedicated this crusade to God" - had the Pope's blessing,</li>
<li>English ships attacking Spanish treasure ships and trying to seize American colonies rich in resources,</li>
<li>sending troops to help Protestant Dutch rebels fight the Spanish in Flanders,</li>
<li>the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, a firm Catholic,</li>
<li>Phillip's belief that he had a valid claim to the throne - he'd been married to Mary Tudor; when she died he sent Elizabeth gifts of diamonds and pearls, assuming she'd want ... she responded by sending cannonballs and a firm NO!</li>
<li>if he could control England, and specifically the English Channel, he would be able to swiftly deal with the very troublesome Dutch rebels! (see <a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/tudor-england/the-spanish-armada/"><b>HistoryLearningSite</b></a>)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">why Spain was seen as a certain victor:</span></b></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li>the armada was the largest naval force the world had ever seen - it stretched for TWO MILES and was known as <i>la armada invincible</i>;</li>
<li>they had more trained troops than England,</li>
<li>the soldiers were dedicated to their religion, seeing England and its Protestant religion as heresy</li>
<li>Spain's greatest military commander, Duke of Medina Sidonia [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Medina_Sidonia"><b>Wiki</b></a>] led the armada </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">what Spain's plan was:</span></span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li>to sail through the English Channel to its narrowest point near Flanders, and there link up with the Spanish army and protect their passage across to invade England</li>
<li>once they landed in England, victory was fairly certain </li>
<li>700 priests of the Spanish Inquisition sailed with the fleet - the English would be forced to repent their heretical ways one way or another... </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">why they failed:</span></span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li>every attempt to invade England over the previous 500 years had failed: William the Conqueror was the last to succeed in 1066!</li>
<li>simple bad luck with weather - they got hit with the worst storms in a century, and this split the fleet; many had to sail back for repairs, making it difficult to meet up with the army at the planned time</li>
<li>food and water, thought to be fine, was spoiled. The army also made bad time - the armada made it ... but the Spanish army hadn't arrived! They were stuck with little food and not enough men to launch an invasion!!!</li>
<li>a questionable choice of leader for the armada (a powerful Duke who was fantastic at organising and at military strategy ... but tried to get out of this job by claiming he got seasick and lacked <i><b>NAVAL</b></i> experience),</li>
<li>it turned out that they'd loaded the wrong kind of replacement shells for the guns! Oops!</li>
<li>a revolutionary design that made English boats much quicker and more maneuverable than Spanish boat, </li>
<li>Elizabeth's spies sent word of the attack and the battering they had received from storms - she was able to organise her fleet to gather at Plymouth</li>
<li>she appointed an inspired military leader, Sir Francis Drake (the dreaded <i><b>scourge </b></i>of the Spanish) who came up with the idea of setting off empty boats on fire! "Fire ships, we'll send in fire ships!" So big and densely packed was the armada that flames were able to spread quickly. The Spanish called them hellburners! Captains spotting these infernos lost discipline and the mighty armada split up, making it easier for the English to pick off targets.</li>
<li>He also made sea captains the undisputed commander on each boat - hanging a Mr Doughty on the <i>Golden Hinde </i>when he argued! The Spanish kept the traditional, really quite muddled, traditional structure - it was never fully clear who was in control on each Spanish boat. (see <a href="http://www.britishbattles.com/spanish-war/spanish-armada.htm"><b>BritishBattles.com</b></a>) </li>
<li>Sidonia set sail with just 5 ships. The English would lose 60 men, the Spanish 4,000 and another 4,000 wounded. Drake's flagship <i>The Revenge</i> and 140 more English warships targeted the <i>San Martine</i>, blasting it with over 500 rounds (a survivor said "it was riddled with gunshot like a sieve"). Sidonia finally ordered the remaining ships to flee. Most wouldn't return - some crashlanded in Ireland where orders were sent to kill those who landed.</li>
<li>Of the 130 ships in the armada more than 2/3 were lost.</li>
<li>Of its 30,000 men 2/3 died.</li>
<li>England would build an empire even greater than Phillip's, spanning more than a third of the globe ... an empire built on ships.</li>
</ul>

It's never a good idea to rely on it, though you can always check out the sources used to back up the points made, but <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Roman_cuisine">the Wiki for this topic</a></b> is very detailed, with points not covered in any of the links above!<br />

Finally, the BBC pose the question of how similar what the British eat today is to Roman food - and you might be surprised at how influential it was and remains!<br />

<br />

<br />
<b><a href="http://www.earlywomenmasters.net/cds/elizabeth/">Click here</a></b> and you'll hear some music designed as a tribute to Elizabeth I (autoplays), and you can read about it too...<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://katherineabutler.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/earliest-surviving-song-in-praise-of-queen-elizabeth-i/">Click here</a></b> to find out about the oldest known song about her.<br />
<br />
<i>The Guardian </i>newspaper (a UK broadsheet or 'quality') asked its readers for songs about queens - <b><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jun/07/readers-recommend-songs-queens">click here</a></b> to see what they came up with...<br />
<br />
The current Queen Elizabeth (II, but actually QE I of Scotland) will be familiar with this song, the national anthem of the UK (but the different national teams of Scotland and Wales usually play different anthems at sporting events), which raises the monarch above every other person in the kingdom, and is like a prayer offered for his or her protection.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DnuoGOo3Bew" width="420"></iframe><br />
In singing it, you are agreeing to be subject to their rule, and accepting their superior status, based on the family they were born into - a principal that helped inform Elizabeth's decision to resist pressure to hand Mary over to the angry Scots; that would have risked the populace seeing monarchs as replaceable and subject to overthrow.<br />
<br />
The British national anthem is controversial today with some Scots as it contains lines celebrating the English army killing Scots, and causes some divides with some of the Welsh and Northern Irish too (read <b><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2179523/London-2012-Olympics-Fury-Welsh-Scots-snub-National-Anthem.html">this <i>Daily Mail </i>report</a></b> on the anthem being blanked by some in the 2012 Olympics football team). The history of how the 'British' nations became unified, a process which Elizabeth advanced with her much firmer grip on Ireland, is certainly reflected in today's national anthem.<br />

Note that <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyGBwrtIamw">the first film</a></b> was rated 15 by the film censors in Britain (details <b><a href="http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/elizabeth-1998">here</a></b>), so speak to your parents before seeking to watch this.<br />
<br />
The second film, picking up the story when Elizabeth is better established as queen but still facing opposition and dealing with powerful men trying to control her, was rated 12 (details <b><a href="http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/elizabeth-golden-age-2007">here</a></b>).
