1588 Virginia Queen Elizabeth I Heritage Flag


If you didn't know, the state of Virginia was named after Queen Elizabeth I...

In 1588 the Spanish Armada was about to restore the faith of Rome to England.  But alas, a divine wind (In Japanese: Kamikaze 神風) overtook the grand Armada of Spain.  Instead the Gods allowed the isle of England to reign supreme and in the wake establish 13 English colonies with a protestant tilt.   The storm that crippled Spain's great armada gave the English the confidence that they were in the favor of God's good grace.  The Japanese had a similar thing happen, twice, when the Mongols invaded Japan and were crippled by bad weather. 

Official State Flag of Virginia
This is a heritage flag for Virginia, whose namesake is taken from the Virgin Queen, Queen Elizabeth the I (Reign1558-1603).  The rise of this queen is tied to the rising of hardcore English pride, more so English than British and to an extent, Protestant Pride as well.  She was the last singly English Monarch, before official union with Scotland.

A title she held was Fedei Defensatrix, a defender of the faith.  Queen Elizabeth I replaces the Amazon stepping on the Roman Tyrant.  Instead, Her Majesty is stepping on a Spanish Conquistador who has his helmet knocked off.

The story of Elizabeth's victory is retold in film every few years as to stoke English pride.  It is a lovely story to tell and has not been censored because it shows a powerful female monarch sticking it to the man/establishment.  It the classic David and Goliath story of the little guy (a smaller Queen) sticking to powerful establishment, kinda of like Neo from the Matrix 1999.  In this case the King of Spain, King Philip II, was the Agent Smith. 

The following video echos the primordial essence of the America before it was born, within the realm of an unborn nation.  In a way, Queen Elizabeth was the 'John the Baptist' figure for the 13 English colonies just before they were settled in...Virginia, in honor of the Virgin Queen.
