The English fleet was presented as a unified naval force acting in unity though it had been a loose group of ships which until then had preyed in a pirate&#8217;s role on the <a title=\"Spanish treasure fleet\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spanish_treasure_fleet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish treasure fleet<\/a>, paid for by the admirals themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The tapestry was woven by <a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fran%C3%A7ois_Spierincx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Francis Aertsz Spierincx<\/a> in Delft, after a design by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hendrick_Cornelisz_Vroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hendrik Cornelisz Vroom<\/a>. Vroom, in turn, used a map by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_Adams_(architect)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Adams<\/a> from 1588 as a guideline for his work.<\/p>\n<p>We see the English and Spanish fleets in the Channel near the Isle of Portland and Weymouth with the coat of arms of Queen Elizabeth I at the top. The scene is framed in an ornamental border with 22 portraits of commanders of the English fleet. At the top center a portrait of Charles Howard, the Lord High Admiral, with his coat of arms in the corners. The tapestry\u00a0 is meant as English propaganda, the fact that also Dutch have played an important role in the defeat of the Spanish armada is &#8216;forgotten&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In 1651 the ten tapestries were hung in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/House_of_Lords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House of Lords<\/a>, which was used for the meetings of the committee of Parliament.
