About this book
The Year after the Armada and Other Historical Studies is by Martin A. S. Hume. The preface says circumstances have led the writer to follow the course of modern history into somewhat unfrequented channels. The text sets out a clause in which the Queen of England undertakes to provide a fleet of one hundred and twenty vessels and twenty thousand men, to go and restore Dom Antonio to the throne of Portugal.
The text says Philip knew everything, and that although he intended to put Mary Stuart on the throne, from this time he was determined that her son should not succeed her. The discovery of the Throgmorton plot and Guise's wild plans in connection therewith threw the whole project into the background for a time. The text says Richard becomes certainly more respectable as he gets older, and beyond a slight flirtation with his landlady, Mrs. Stokes, of Short's Gardens, we hear little of his gallantries henceforward.
