Thus- Spanish armada-fleet of warship sent to invade England - 1588 naval battles- England won (to Europe’s surprise) - English fire ships forced Spain North; a storm sent armada off course around Scotland and destroyed most of the ships (Protestant wind) Catholic internal threats to Elizabeth’s power – Mary, Queen of Scots (cousin, catholic, Scottish Queen, support of all European Catholics, raised by French royal family; Elizabeth had her imprisoned and later beheaded for the danger she posed to the throne of England) Has no heir, her cousin Mary’s son becomes king

Parliament had created a law forbidding any non-protestant from ruling. *Protestant cousins of Stuarts- House of Hanover begins (from German province of Hanover from WITHIN the Holy Roman Empire).
