Queen Elizabeth used pirates like to raid Spanish ships and steal gold and treasure?

Yes, she did. This was when the Spanish would be going to explore the Americas, then (I think it was Francis Drake) they would sneak onto their ships and raid them. But not with pirates. Anyway, the Spanish would come back furious, and she would deny every claim and pretend like she didn't do anything. AND THEY BELIEVED HER! The Spanish thought they were robbed by pirates...
