Description
The Spanish Armada battles the English in the Channel and North Sea, with the Spanish suffering a horrendous defeat. Spenser “devotes eighteen stanzas of curious allegory” to this battle in the FQ, 5.8.28-45. (Judson, 123) Since the Spanish Armada had crashed partly on Irish shores, "most of Spenser's official work would have been concerned with the panic induced first by the possibility of Spanish invasion and then by the wrecks of the ships off the Munster coast" (Hadfield, 193)
