1:09:01
Proof of their plans to send an armada
against England.
1:09:33
Captain Geoffrey Thorpe.
1:09:39
In recognition of your valiant services,
I pronounce you a knight of the realm.
1:09:44
Rise, Sir Geoffrey Thorpe.
1:09:49
Accept by my hand
the homage of your country...
1:09:52
and the gratitude of its queen.
1:10:03
And now, my loyal subjects,
a grave duty confronts us all.
1:10:08
To prepare our nation
for a war that none of us wants...
1:10:12
least of all your queen.
1:10:14
We have tried by all means in our power
to avert this war.
1:10:18
We've no quarrel with the people of Spain
or of any other country.
1:10:22
But when the ruthless ambition of a man
threatens to engulf the world...
1:10:25
it becomes the solemn obligation
of all free men...
1:10:29
to affirm that the earth
belongs not to any one man...
1:10:32
but to all men.
1:10:34
And that freedom is the deed and title
to the soil on which we exist.
1:10:39
Firm in this faith,
we shall now make ready...
1:10:42
to meet the great Armada
that Phillip sends against us.
1:10:45
To this end, I pledge you ships...
1:10:48
ships worthy of our seamen.
1:10:50
A mighty fleet
hewn out of the forests of England...
1:10:55
a navy foremost in the world...
1:10:58
not only in our time...
