Description
The road to the Armada runs through the ninth volume of Froude's History, from 1856. The Babington plot aims at Elizabeth's life and Mary's release. Mary stands trial and dies at Fotheringhay, while Spain prepares its vast fleet for war.
Froude builds the tension chapter by chapter toward the coming storm. Readers feel the danger long before the sails appear in the Channel. Secret letters, Walsingham's spies, and Philip's slow armada drive the tale. The volume forms the penultimate act of his Tudor epic, a fuse burning toward the famous deliverance that his next book celebrates in full.
