Philip II of Spain ordered the armada to be built.
Spain's Lord High Admiral was the famous Santa Cruz. He was a respected and successful admiral. He died in 1586 (two years before the armada was launched). The admiral chosen by Philip to lead the Armada after Cruz's death was a very rich and successful general called the Duke of Medina Sidonia. Though a good general, Medina Sidonia had never been to sea before and when he did get on board his ship, he got seasick.
