Protestant Wind

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phrase Protestant Wind has been used in more than one context, notably:

  1. The storm that lashed the Spanish Armada in 1588.[1] The wind wrecked the Spanish fleet and thus saved England from invasion by the army of Philip II of Spain. The English made a commemorative medal saying 'He blew with His winds, and they were scattered'.
  2. The favourable winds that enabled William of Orange to invade England (while keeping opposing ships in port)[2] in 1688, when King James II was deposed in the Glorious Revolution.
