Now that my country has succesfully granted the right to use the name Hispania it's time to destroy all the infidels in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Portugal banner has been added to the Royal Standard.

Admiral Sir George Monk writes...
The Royal Court at Richmond, 1675
Dearest Clarissa,
Emma seems to have gone out on another one of her “hunting expeditions” – hunting anything in trousers I’ll wager - so I’m taking the chance to pen you a quick note. You wanted the latest gossip from the court. Very well:
My father’s old agents tell me that slaving expeditions in the land the Spanish call “Florida” have netted many native prisoners to work our mines in Jamaica.
Lord Halifax has sponsored a new colony in Nova Scotia, apparently, and sent many of his barbarous Irish tenants to settle there. Good riddance, I say!
Now that the war with the French has gone off the boil, rather, I expect I will have to find something else to do. I think the King expects me to lead the campaign to subdue those Scotch rogues. I suppose it will have to do. At least our army is in better shape than our so-called Senior Service, but I can’t say the simply atrocious weather – and worse food – up there appeals to me….
I supposed you wanted to hear of the latest fashions and scandal, but I’ll save the best bits until we rendevous next week in town.
Until next time.
Charles Monk, 2nd Duke of Albemarle

Waku,
Did you do something you didn't mean to?
Lord Charles Monk writes to his Admiralty employers…
The Admiralty, Whitehall 1678
Well, the King orders, and his faithful servant obeys. Scotland it is. I can at least report steady progress against the defences of Edinburgh. Our Artillery is causing frightful carnage within the city and it can only be a matter of time before the Scots ask for terms.
I hear the merchants are actively trading with the French across the Channel these days. Furs to Cherbourg is the latest thing, I understand. Oh well, at least the Frenchies’ backs will be warm when we blow their heads off! Ha!

I hear His Majesty (God Bless Him), is contemplating making peace with the frogs. Please, don’t let it be so! At least, until I have had a crack at them….
Chas.
Charles Monk, 2nd Duke of Albemarle
