Very interesting. The Spanish Armada story is always told from a “nationalist” perspective, even going back to the 70s in schools in Ireland.
I also have to say that “UTV Ireland” threw me for a loop. There are only three counties of Ulster in the Republic (Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan), and Ulster Television (UTV) was always understood to be a TV station from the North.
The armada soldiers who managed to swim to shore after their ships foundered were for the most part killed by the locals. But y’know, they were part of an invasion force and it was centuries before the Geneva Convention.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH ARMADA!
