For 150 years writers depended heavily on Petruccio Ubaldini's ''A Discourse Concernye the Spanish Fleete Invadinye Englande'' (1590), which explained that God favored England and English victory confirmed English Protestantism. In the 17th century William Camden (1551-1623) added nationalism and private enterprise to the English side and depicted the Duke of Medina Sidonia as an incompetent seaman. In the [[Enlightenment]] [[David Hume]] (1711-76) dropped divine favor and  stressed the leadership of Elizabeth I. Hume was challenged by 19th-century Whig historians led by James A. Froude (1818-94), who criticized Elizabeth for vacillating and being unwilling to spend the money necessary to defend England. The publication of primary documents by John K. Laughton in 1894 led modern scholars, led by Julian Corbet (1854-1922), to reject the Whig views and emphasize the role of England's professional navy in the victory. Historians have since debated the relative power of English and Spanish guns and the degree of credit due Francis Drake and Charles Howard.<ref> Douglas Knerr, "Through the "Golden Mist": a Brief Overview of Armada Historiography."
