:08:03
...gathered fame for himself
by storming the town.
:08:06
There was naught else to be done.
:08:08
- It was for the glory of England.
- For the glory of Essex!
:08:13
Will that put food into the mouths
of my starving people?
:08:16
Can they subsist upon laurel wreaths
from your heroic brow?
:08:21
You think they're displeased with what
I did at Cádiz, madam? Listen.
:08:30
The English people are more
readily pleased than their queen.
:08:33
They cry your name, but what will they say
when I must tax them again...
:08:37
...to pay off the soldiers and the fleet?
:08:40
Is it nothing that 1200 pieces of Spanish
ordnance were sunk in my hollow victory?
:08:44
- And the Spanish fleet totally destroyed?
- Thanks to my Lord Howard and Sir Raleigh.
:08:50
It seems you've no reward for me
as a soldier, madam.
:08:53
That the soldier can endure.
:08:56
But the man had hoped
for a different kind of reception.
:09:01
You meant well, perhaps...
:09:04
...but my rewards are for unselfish effort,
not for things half or meanly done.
:09:15
Sir Walter Raleigh.
:09:23
From today, you take rank
as commander of our guard.
:09:31
My Lord Howard.
:09:36
Your Majesty.
:09:38
In grateful return
for what you tried to do at Cádiz...
:09:41
...without thought of self
and only for your country's honor...
:09:45
...I appoint you lord lieutenant,
general of all England...
:09:48
...commander of my army and my fleet,
and name you Earl of Nottingham.
:09:54
Your Majesty.
:09:56
- That's impossible.
- Keep silent.
:09:58
I will not. Do you intend this Earl
of Nottingham to take precedence over me?
