King Philip II of Spain was always hungry for new adventures and conquering new lands. His greatest competition were the English, who also dreamed of world domination. Thus, the King of Spain went forth and decided to try to conquer England. On July 26, 1595, the fleet led by Pedro de Zaubiar with the support of Carlos de Amesquita left Port Luis harbor in Brittany. Four galleys – the Capitana, Patrona, Peregrina and Bazana, and three companies of auquebusiers, under the command of Carlos de Amesquita, followed the great strategy by Zaubiar to conquer part of England and they started their way to the North.
