← The Defeat of the Spanish Armada

Parma respected a valiant foe. [fact]

Parma respected a valiant foe. He sought out Sir Roger Williams where he stood at the head of the remnant of his battalion, his arm in a sling and his great plume broken, praised his soldiership and offered to find a command worthy of it where he need never fight against his co-religionists or his fellow countrymen. Williams replied courteously that if he ever served any but his Queen in future, it would be in the army of that hard-pressed champion of the Protestant cause, the Huguenot hero King Henry of Navarre.
