Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro narra los sucesos que acontecieron durante la primavera-verano de 1588 en el teatro de operaciones de las costas hispanas, galas e inglesas, y también lo que acontecen los años precedentes al conflicto.Todo el soporte documental que sustenta esta obra se nutre, obviamente, de fondos y archivos, donde reposan miles de legajos, con contenidos cuya aridez administrativa es, sin embargo, un tesoro para el investigador. Son muchas las citas de estos documentos que se han utilizado para ayudar e enfatizar la tesis.En todos los casos se ha mantenido fielmente la ortografía que aparece en eltexto original, así como su vocabulario. Son muchas las fuentes de donde se hasacado la información, pero hay dos focos destacados: la Biblioteca Nacionalde Madrid, y sobre todo el Archivo General de Simancas. Por último, un contenido que es absolutamente inusual para una obra de investigación histórica. Al principio de cada capítulo un relato, cuyos momentos y lugares van coincidiendoexactamente con los de esta época histórica, va recreando la vida de un hombre cuyas vicisitudes y vivencias se entrecruzan entre las de la gran gesta filipina. Si bien el protagonista y sus circunstancias son pura invención, lugares, acontecimientos y fechas son absolutamente reales.

Download or read book Maritime History at the Crossroads written by Frank Broeze and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to critically review the contemporary state of maritime historiography, as it stands at the volume’s publication date of 1995. The volume is comprised of thirteen essays, each focused on the recent research into the maritime concerns of a particular geographical location, listed as follows: Australia; Canada; China; Denmark; Germany; Greece; Ibero-America; India; the Netherlands; the Ottoman Empire; Spain; the United States; and a final chapter concerning historians and maritime labour in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. One concern made evident by the collection is the lack of stable identity and cohesive aims within maritime history, the subject holds many conflicting definitions and concepts. The purpose of this volume is to explore the recent developments in maritime history, plus the growth of scholarly interest, to provide a ‘beacon and stimulus for future work’ and to clearly direct and define maritime historiography toward a solid position in the field of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Aramda is a radical interpretation of why Philip II's Armada of 1588 failed so disastrously.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La investigación más ardua que se ha realizado sobre los prisioneros de la Armada Invencible. Un libro esencial para comprender uno de los episodios más importantes de la historia de España. «Liberados, fugados o asesinados fríamente, los vestigios documentales nos permitirán poner nombre a muchos de estos personajes y conocer el calvario al que fueron sometidos para así mantener vivos su memoria y su legado». ¿Qué tuvo que pasar entre España e Inglaterra para que se declarase una guerra entre ambas naciones en 1585? ¿Cómo fue la trágica campaña de la Armada Invencible? Hasta hoy, los estudios sobre la armada española de 1588, la conocida como «Armada Invencible», se han debatido en disquisiciones técnicas, políticas, estratégicas o arqueológicas pasando de largo sobre el destino final de casi tres mil hombres (ni siquiera contabilizados hasta ahora) que fueron capturados durante la Jornada de Inglaterra. Ahora, por primera vez, Los prisioneros de la Armada Invencible no solo los rescata del olvido, sino que pone nombre y apellidos a casi ochocientos de ellos, las circunstancias de su captura, los lugares donde fueron retenidos y su destino final, en un relato que pone el foco en el aspecto humano y la epopeya que protagonizaron estos hombres al servicio de la Corona Española. La crítica ha dicho: «A través de un relato dinámico, intenso, conmovedor y apasionante, Pedro Luis Chinchilla nos revela por primera vez el destino de los prisioneros de esta batalla naval que tanta controversia ha suscitado a lo largo del tiempo». Magdalena de Pazzis Pi Corrales. Catedrática de Historia Moderna Universidad Complutense de Madrid «Con meticulosidad y cariño, Pedro Luis Chinchilla rescata del olvido a aquellos soldados que cayeron cautivos en su lucha por acabar con las agresiones que estaba perpetrando Isabel I de Inglaterra contra España».

Download or read book Spanish Warships in the Age of Sail, 1700â1860 written by Rif Winfield and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the latest contribution to a unique series in a common format documenting in great detail the warships of the major naval powers during the age of sail. To date, four volumes have covered the British Navy, two have been devoted to the French Navy and one each to the Dutch and Russian Navies. This volume on the Spanish Navy, for much of its history the third largest in the world, fills the final gap in the ranks of the major maritime powers. This book is the first comprehensive listing of these ships in English and covers the development of all the naval vessels owned or deployed by Spain during the period of the Bourbon monarchy from 1700 to 1860 (including the period of French control during the Napoleonic Wars), but it also sets the scene for that period by summarizing the origins of Spanish naval development under the preceding Habsburg regime. As with previous volumes in the series, the main chapters list all the naval vessels from 1700 onwards (including those 16th century ships which survived into the new regime in 1700) by type, with the first chapters listing the ships of the line (navÃos in Spanish terminology) and frigates in descending order of firepower, and subsequent chapters covering minor and ancillary vessels. Where available, a brief service history of each individual ship is given. A comprehensive introductory section includes a group of background essays designed to provide the reader with a deep understanding of how Spanish naval forces operated, and the context within which they were organized. Certain to become the standard English-language reference work, its publication is of the utmost importance to every naval historian and general reader interested in the navies of the sailing era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los barcos de vela nos transportan a la era de las exploraciones y a los viajes que unieron el Viejo Continente con las tierras del Lejano Oriente así como de buena parte de América. Aquellos barcos regresaron a Europa abarrotados de valiosos cargamentos pero, también, se convirtieron en naves de combate y sus tripulaciones fueron equipadas con una amplia gama de armas individuales para repeler a enemigos o efectuar operaciones de abordaje. Durante el siglo XVI, las piezas de artillería hallaron su lugar dentro de las grandes embarcaciones. Se las instalaba en las cubiertas de batalla mientras que, en los costados de las naves, se cortaban las icónicas troneras. Ante ellas se instalaba artillería pesada para que, al abrirse, las grandes armas emergieran hasta que sus barriles brotaran y su letal carga de muerte y destrucción diezmara al enemigo. Después, la tripulación efectuaba la operación de abordaje. En este segundo libro de la exitosa serie Historia de los grandes combates navales, el experto internacional en tácticas y estrategias de guerra, Victor Aguilar-Chang, aborda la evolución del modo de combatir en las aguas del océano Atlántico desde mediados del siglo xvi, cuando transcurrió la campaña de la Gran Armada, hasta principios del xix en que se libró la batalla de Trafalgar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the year between July 1588, when the Spanish Armada set sail from Spain and July 1589, when the survivors of the English counterpart of this fleet, the little-known English Armada, reached port in England, two of history's worst naval catastrophes took place. A great deal of attention has been dedicated to the former and precious little to the latter. This book presents a full-scale account of an event which has been neglected for more than four centuries. It reconstructs the military operations day by day for the first time, taking apart the established notion that, with the defeat of the Spanish Armada, England achieved maritime supremacy and the decay of Spain began. This book clearly and in a rigorously documented fashion shows how the defeat of the English Armada counterbalanced that of the Spanish, frustrating England's intention of seizing Philip II's American empire and changing the tide of the war.

Book excerpt: The definitive history of the Spanish Armada, lavishly illustrated and fully revised “Will surely become the definitive account.”—Stephen Brumwell, Wall Street Journal In July 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Corunna to conquer England. Three weeks later an English fireship attack in the Channel—and then a fierce naval battle—foiled the planned invasion. Many myths still surround these events. The genius of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain’s efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter? Drawing on archives from around the world, Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker also deploy vital new evidence from Armada shipwrecks off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. Their gripping, beautifully illustrated account provides a fresh understanding of how the rival fleets came into being; how they looked, sounded, and smelled; and what happened when they finally clashed. Looking beyond the events of 1588 to the complex politics which made war between England and Spain inevitable, and at the political and dynastic aftermath, Armada deconstructs the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed.

Book excerpt: Tras su intento de invadir Inglaterra, la Armada de 130 navíos fletada por Felipe II desapareció a finales del verano de 1588 en los mares septentrionales. ¿Cuál fue la realidad de la amenaza española y por qué fracasó? Para dar respuesta a estas preguntas, Geoffrey Parker analiza gran cantidad de información —no estudiada hasta ahora— procedente de los archivos más importantes de España y Holanda. Esta información se completa con el descubrimiento de los restos de la Armada, tres de cuyos barcos han sido estudiados por el arqueólogo marino, Colin Martin. Esta reconstrucción de La Gran Armada llega a conclusiones inesperadas y destruye algunos mitos vigentes durante mucho tiempo en la historiografía anglosajona. Por encima de todo, se trata de un relato que da vida a uno de los sucesos más apasionantes de la historia mundial

Download or read book Philip II written by Patrick Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four hundred years after his death, Philip II remains one of the most controversial figures in history, admired and reviled in equal measure. He is a figure of global importance, the first ruler on whose territories the sun never set. He led Europe in its defence against the seemingly irresistable power of the Ottoman Empire and many of the nations of Western Europe were forged in part by their responses to his ambitions - Portugal was conquered and most of Italy was controlled by him, while the Low Countries, England and France fought long and bitter wars against him. Philip proclaimed himself the leader of Catholic Europe but quarrelled incessantly with the popes of the Counter-Reformation. In consolidating his monarchy in Spain, Philip used the arts as a political tool; Titian and Palestrina did some of their greatest work for him. This new study traces the development of Philip II and of a kingship that lay at the heart of European political, religious and cultural evolution. It looks in detail at the ministers who worked with this most demanding of kings and at the government that evolved during his reign. It deals also with the pressures of a tortured private life and explores the paradox of a man who as a young ruler was deeply prudent but who became extraordinarily aggressive in his old age and who by his successes and failures - both of them on an epic scale - re-shaped the world in which he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wide-ranging in place and time, yet tightly focused on particular concerns, these new and original specialist articles show how observations on the early history of warfare based on the relatively stable conditions of the late seventeenth century ignore the realities of war at sea in the middle ages and renaissance. In these studies, naval historians firmly grounded in the best current understanding of the period take account of developments in ships, guns and the language of public policy on war at sea, and in so doing give a stimulating introduction to five hundred years of maritime violence in Europe."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Market for Seamen in the Age of Sail written by Lewis R. Fischer and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects eight essays that all attempt to answer two key concerns: did markets for seafarers exist in the age of sail; and, if so, were these markets efficient? The question was initially approach by Charles Kindleberger, who claims a market is efficient if it permits free access for employer and employee, is supply and demand match balance so that wages increase, and that labour must command the same price across the market. The first four focus on the broadly defined early-modern period, and all agree on the existence of the markets but are divided over whether or not they are efficient. The second section asks the same questions of the nineteenth century, and receives similar answers. All of the essays take issue with the definition and application of the term ‘efficiency’ when approaching their conclusions. Each author is considered an expert within their field, and all base their research on the North Atlantic. Section 1: These essays focus on the early-modern period of maritime history. Carla Rahn Phillips considers the market for maritime labour in early-modern Spain, finding that despite the necessity of sailors and existence of the market, wages remained low and skilled maritime labourers did not have bargaining power, rendering the system inefficient. Vince Walsh examines Salem, Massachusetts, and finds that the market within Salem was efficient yet would only recruit within Salem and suffered as a result. Paul van Royen focusses on seventeenth and eighteenth century Netherlands, and finds the organisations functioned well but enable huge discrepancies in wages. David Starkey chose eighteenth century England, noting a fluctuation between efficiency and inefficiency across markets. All authors find their work linked by the prevalence of these markets and their own difficulties in determining ‘efficiency’ within these economies. Section 2: These essays focus on the maritime history of the nineteenth century. David Williams discusses the emergence on the advance note and the tremendous influence it had on market behaviour, indicating inefficient markets. Yrjo Kaukiainen considers Finland’s history of interconnected local maritime labour markets, but also struggles to quantify their ‘efficiency’ after also taking issue with the ambiguous phrase. Lewis R. Fischer addresses the imbalance of wages in Norwegian maritime markets and finds that despite the integration from local to regional markets, the system remained inefficient. Finally, Morten Hahn-Pedersen and Poul Holm consider the fishing and shipping markets in Denmark and believe the wage inconsistencies reflect an inefficient system.
