The Spanish Armada?

The Armada was funded, commanded and sent by the Spanish Crown, specifically to enforce the inheritance rights of Queen Catherine's line.

The Pope may have approved the Emperor of Spain's attempt to install the legitimate heir of Catherine on the English throne, but it really wasn't his call one way or the other.
