The wise and catholic King Don Juan de Austria has tried, with the best of intentions, to make peace with their cousins the King of France and the Virgn Queen of England. Both have refused to receive our ambassadors. However, the peace offer is still there.
The mighty Spanish troops have skirmished with Berber mounted soldiers outside our fortress-city of Tangiers. God was on the Spanish side again, and the Spanish knights returned home safe and sound, rejoying with their victory.
Oh, BTW, the King received in his court a certain Christopher Columbus, and after hours of hearing amazing tales and strange theories, His Catholic Majesty has agreed to support with money a rash naval expedition towards the West. Who knows, maybe Columbus will be able to reach the far Zipango and bring back loads of spices to Spain?
