The Spanish Armada is often remembered as a catastrophic defeat, but what if the real enemy wasn't English fireships but the Atlantic weather? This episode of The Story of Spain: Empire, Gold, and Global Power unpacks the harrowing journey home for the Armada after the Battle of Gravelines. Lucas and Luna explore the 'Great Armada Storm' of 1588, the disastrous shipwrecks along the coasts of Ireland and Scotland, the decisions that led to the loss of nearly half the fleet, and the impact on Spain's maritime strategy. They discuss the role of Admiral Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, Duke of Medina Sidonia, the Spanish commanders' accounts of the storms, the fate of ships like the 'Girona' and 'San Juan de Sicilia', and how the Royal Navy's often celebrated victory was overshadowed by nature's fury. The episode also touches on the Armada's legacy in naval warfare and the mythmaking that followed. A fresh angle for listeners who think they know the Armada story. #SpanishArmada #GreatArmadaStorm #MedinaSidonia #AlonsoPerezDeGuzman #Girona #SanJuanDeSicilia #Ireland #Scotland #AtlanticStorms #1588 #PhilipII #NavalHistory #Shipwrecks #ElizabethI #Gravelines #History #FexingoHistory #Spain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
