Philip IV wanted to invade England to stop the alliance between England and the Netherlands and to restore it to Catholicism. After years of what he considered to be provocation by Elizabeth I, her refusal of his marriage proposal, her refusal to acknowledge it was he who instigated a reunion with her sister, Mary I, that saved her life and her involvement in the Netherlands that aligned her with another protestant monarch, Philip launched the Spanish Armada against England.
