The Spanish Armada, the fleet Spain assembled to attack the English in 1588, was so large it took two days for all ships to leave the port of Lisbon before heading to England.
The fleet was composed of 141 ships carrying 10 138 sailors and 19 315 soldiers.

GUARDIAN OF THE PROMISE by Irene Radford is out in #ebook.
In the Elizabethan Age, three descendants of King Arthur and The Merlin have inherited powerful magic. Any of them could be the next Merlin of Britain. And it's a good thing there's still a Merlin of Britain hidden in the mists.
Because the Spanish Armada is coming....

My last post on the subject of the Ayscough family from Stallingborough Lincolnshire is about Edward Asycough, an Elizabethan country gentleman.
Edward Ayscough probably lived at the family’s manor house at Stallingborough as his tomb, seen here, can be found in the church that stood adjacent to the house. At this time Spain was threatening war and it was the duty of every Englishman of note to supply horses and weapons for the fight against the Armada.
In 1584 Edward’s local muster point was Caistor, but he failed to turn up with his assessed quota of ‘one dimi-lance and two horses’ his fine for this was to supply a third horse. Three years later he held the position High Sheriff of Lincolnshire.
Edward Ayscough had married Hester Grantham of Goltho, and as you can see he had rather a large brood of children - fourteen in all.
He died in 1612.
The manor of Stallingborough descended to his son William and then through three more Edwards until it passed, in the mid 16th century, to Isabella his 3x great granddaughter the wife of Andrew Boucherett.
On this marriage, the manor became the property of the Boucherett family.
