While Henry VIII himself could easily be considered a tyrant, even a dictator, the way he took these dictatorial powers was not through his own kingly powers, which most other absolute monarchs did and Henry VIII could have done, but did it through acts of parliament, which (after he was dead) proved to greatly strengthen the English parliament and bind England even more tightly to the parliamentary system. No king/queen after him could prove to rule England without the parliament, those that tried lost their crowns and the only person to rule England without it was actually a military dictator (Cromwell.

Overall a useful reminder of the main landmarks in a century plus of history.
But why is Liverpool on your map It was barely a village at that time. Where are the Spanish Netherlands (important to the plan for the Armada, since it was supposed to collect troops there) You mispronounce Berkshire (even more than most of the other counties.

It's worth pointing out the ships the English had to fight the Spanish Armada were very modern, smaller, faster and more manoeuvrable and the English had perfected the use of naval cannons as the primary weapon whereas the Spanish were still using old style Galleons which relied on ramming and boarding tactics.

The book To rule the waves tells the history of the Royal Navy, and also another story about the Spanish Armada.
Take a look at it to reject nationalist propaganda and know the real facts.

Great video, but to talk about the Elizabethan Era and not mention William Cecil is insane. He made the majority of the decisions you spoke of!
