In addition to burning the Armada with the aid of seven men in rowboats, Ingolby escapes from a Spanish galleon, sails in a fishing smack from Spain to England, foils an attempt on the Queen's life, uncovers a Spanish plot to assassinate her, impersonates a traitor to his land at the court of Spain's King Philip II, defeats the King's palace guard in a fencing match and accompanies...
