Synopsis

This book offers a unique and critical perspective on the experiences of English exiles in the service of the King of Spain during the late 16th century. The author, a contemporary observer, provides a detailed account of the lives of these men, highlighting their motivations, the realities of their service, and the political and religious tensions that permeated their existence. Through a series of vivid anecdotes and observations, the author exposes the hypocrisy of the Spanish court and the harsh realities faced by these English exiles, both from the Spanish authorities and from their own countrymen. The book delves into the complexities of the English Reformation, the religious divisions within the English exile community, and the dangers of engaging in clandestine plots against the English crown. This work offers a compelling glimpse into the lives of these forgotten figures, and the author's insights into their motivations and experiences provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of a pivotal period in English history.
