The most glorious episode in Elizabeth's reign was the defeat of the dreaded Spanish Armada by the ingenious and determined English navy. Who commanded part of this stalwart force for Elizabeth?
- Francis Drake
- Walter Raleigh
- Robert Devereaux
- Francis Bacon
The answer is a. Francis Drake.
Drake was a brilliant naval officer, and while it is true that the Armada was at a disadvantage in the treacherous English Channel with its over-large galleons, the light, nimble ships of the English would not have triumphed had not Drake and his men been quick-witted and daring.
