Captain Cuellar's Adventures in Connaught & Ulster A.D. 1588


Book Description

This book tells about the survival of Francisco De Cuellar's, captain of the San Pedro, after the shipwreck off the Sligo coast. He was washed up on Streedagh, injured, and naked. Then he realized he was in danger: twelve of his compatriots were hung in a ruined monastery. He had to hide from troops and some locals until he eventually found refuge with chieftains of the clans O'Rourke and McClancy, before making his way northward to and escaping to Scotland.










God's Obvious Design


Book Description

A distinguished group of specialists examine afresh issues of particular concern to historians of the Spanish Armada. In particular they look at the contemporary Spanish view of Philip II's imperialism (Watson); at the composition and equipping of the fleet (Martin, Thompson, O'Donnell); at the unpredictable influence of outside agents, notably the Dutch fleet and the appalling weather of 1588 and its consequences (Schokkenbroek, Daultrey, Hogueras and San Pio); and at the reflection of the Armada in the myths and literature of the time (Fernandez-Armesto, Calvar, the editors). The editors also translate and annotate de Cu llar's remarkable first-hand account of sailing with the Armada.
