When England was moving in to the "New World" then they fought and booted Spain out of what is now Florida and such. So yes, England did invade Spain , before the Boston Tea Party ever happened .

Sir Francis Drake once "singed the King of Spain's beard" by sailing into Cadiz harbour and setting fire to ships preparing for the Armada.

In 1704 Dutch and British Marines captured Gibraltar which is still a British dependency.

During the Peninsular war British troops invaded Spain several times (1809-1815) to attempt to free it from Napoleon's control. It was eventually freed by the combined efforts of Spanish and British troops under the Duke of Wellington.

Spain is invaded by the British holiday army of a million or so every year.

Katherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first queen, was Spanish. She, however, did not rule England in the strictest sense of the word. Henry was king and, therefore, the ruler. Mary, Henry and Katherine's daughter, married Philip of Spain. She was Queen of England but Philip did not have an English royal title. He did not rule England.
