Calais Claim Through Elizabethan Treaties Examined
The article reviews extracts from treaties between Queen Elizabeth I and France, arguing Britain never renounced its claim to Calais. It cites agreements with Henry IV and Charles IX, noting Calais is not mentioned in later Greenwich terms, and suggests France tacitly confirmed the English right amid Spain's designs. The writer critiques avarice and calls for reader vigilance against costly political schemes.
