Facing persecution in early modern England, some Catholics chose exile over conformity. Some even cast their lot with foreign monarchs rather than wait for their own rulers to have a change of heart. This book studies the relationship forged by English exiles and Philip II of Spain. It shows how these expatriates, known as the Spanish Elizabethans, used the most powerful tools at their disposal--paper, pens, and presses--to incite war against England during the messianic phase of Philip's reign, from the years leading up to the Grand Armada until the king's death in 1598.
