Felice Peretti, Pope Sixtus V (1521-1590)
|
 |
Sixtus revived the plan to excommunicate Elizabeth and offered to subsidize
the Spanish Armada set to invade England, instructing the exiled Cardinal
William Allen to draw up An Admonition to the Nobility and Laity of England,
the most detailed and powerful of all the indictments against her by the
religious exiles.
