I myself cannot give details of the Battle of St. George's Caye as it is popularly known, but see Emory King's History of Belize (3 vols), paper, for details and further references. If I recall correctly, against the Spanish Armada the British and the settlers had 2 frigates and a few floating gut rafts. The Spanish had many deaths due to illness and withdrew leaving the battle outcome a draw. I believe O'Neil was the commander of the Spanish fleet, which then returned to Bacalar in what is now southern Yucatan. There is a contemporary account printed in a Jamaican newspaper which may be cited in King's work.

While the defeat of the Spanish Armada did not affect the Roanoke colonists, the preparations in England for the expected attack certainly did. Part of the preparations included a stay of shipping, meaning that no ships were allowed to leave England. Thus, relief ships carrying much needed supplies for the colony were not sent.

"To know today, we look to yesterday. To know tomorrow, we see today as yesterday."

History serves as a reminder of the great things we have done, the horrible atrocities that have occurred, and to help those of today to know how we came to this. History is a road that gets fuzzy and hard to remember the further you look back but to forget is a crime in itself.

All caravels, from the reign of King Joao II (1481), carried cannon on deck, in place of the previous hand-held, light-caliber artillery. However, there were two, three and four-masted caravels, with a large variation in size, so the the number of cannon, in turn, would vary greatly. It is therefore inpossible to say: "A caravel carried X number of cannon," but it probably varied between two and eight.

The english, the victory was atributed to Sir Walter Raleigh, the story goes that he was playing bowls and insisted on finishing the game before setting sail. The victory was attained by the use of fireships whiich broke up the close formation of the fleet allowing the English fleet to pick off most of the main force, the remainder sailed AROUND Britain to get home, during which, more ships were lost due to storms.

Amendment: It wasn't Raleigh who was purported to be playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe, it was Sir Francis Drake.

It was actually by Bryan Stevenson who was a Scotish Warrior that shot at the Spanish with cannons from the shore.

There was not a king and queen of Spain in 1492.

Ferdinand II ruled Aragon and co-ruled Leon and Castile with Queen Isabel I.

Isabel I was Queen of Castile and Leon and co-ruled Aragon with Ferdinand.

They ruled those three kingdoms together but were only the Monarchs of their own kingdom(s). Consequently they were not the monarchs of Spain. Nor were their children.

Spain was only unified when all three kingdoms were inherited by their grandson Carlos I of Spain in 1516. At that point it became one kingdom.

Carlos I was Crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1519, and King of Bologna on 22 February, 1530. All told he was King of Spain first (1516), Holy Roman Emperor later(1520), and still later King of the Romans and King of Italy(1530). Charles abdicated his various title in 1555.

There was not a king and queen of Spain in 1495.
