On the 19th April 1587 Sir Francis Drake entered the harbor of Cadiz on the Spanish coast and led a per-emptive strike on the Spanish fleet, destroying a number of ships (20-30) and their supplies, and causing the planned Spanish attack on England to be postponed for over a year.

Answer In recent history, King George V, reigned 1910 to 1936, had a full beard and Moustache (that's the British spelling), as did his predecessor, King Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910. King Charles II, reigned 1649 to 1685, is portrayed clean shaven and with a moustache but no beard and his predecessor, Charles I, 1625 to 1649 had a beard and moustache. There is at least one portrait of Charles I's predecessor - James I - with a beard and moustache. He reigned from 1603 to 1625. His predeccessor was Queen Elizabeth I, who had neither moustache nor a beard!

In the fairy tale "King Grisly-beard," the main characters include the proud princess, who is initially disdainful of her suitors, and King Grisly-beard himself, a wise and rugged king who ultimately teaches her humility. The story also features the princess's father, the king, who is frustrated by his daughter's behavior and orchestrates her marriage to the gruff king as a lesson. These characters drive the narrative, exploring themes of pride, humility, and the transformation of relationships.
