A ripping good story, marred only by the minor historical footnote that Brittannia's greatest naval victory owed more to a fluke of nature than to maritime strategy.

Leland, that victory, regardless of the cause, was very significant. Interesting stuff.

Point taken, Santa. Not diminishing the significance of their victory, I just thought that -- after those earlier hostile landings at Lindesfarne and Pevensy -- the Brits would have been a LITTLE better prepared for Phillip's arrival.

Didn't have time, they were too busy making those dang outfits the queen wore.
