 SPANISH ARMADA BOOKS SOURCE, FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
Philip was antagonised by her refusal to return England to the fold of the church; in addition, he and the Holy_See were concerned at the reduction in their incomes owing to the increasing separation of northern Europe from their influence.
The matter of England's disruption (along with France) of the annual bullion-run by the Spanish treasure fleet from Peru and Mexico to the port of Seville in Spain was of critical importance to Philip.
England's treasure was wasted in a brutal war in Ireland (the Nine_Years'_War, 1595-1603), which was fitfully supported by Spain and proved the most expensive military campaign waged by the English for over a hundred years; such was the expense, that Elizabeth's government was drawn to the brink of bankruptcy.
