English Victories against the Spanish: Part 1

Medieval times during 100 years war.
Castille made a peace with England ending their part in 100 years war in 1387.
I this great battles like Najera & Aljubarrota on land & Winchelsea & Margate on sea.
England enjoyed some great victories over France's early ally.
England prevailed & crowned a king of France in Paris & very nearly had King crowned of Castile too! Castile as result signed a treaty ending their participation in the 100 years war & only had to deal with Castillian merceneries & pirates.
England on other hand had gained an alliance which still stands to this day & that's with Portugal.

Spanish won the world cup 2011! that is a good victory!

seriously, doesnt matter who won more or less battles...both sides did a epic duel over 500 years and they wrote good pages for the history.

Glory to the men who fought and died in those battles!!!

I do not wish to weigh in on either side but it seems to me that you assume there was a Spain which of course is a modern unified state. Many of the victories you state were against Castile one of several kingdoms. You seem to make no mention that the majority of troops that fought in land battlles in Iberia were mercenaries from Aquitaine, Navarre (mostly Basque) etc.I think a scholarly approach and basic honesty are a great place to start. All that was missing was the oi oi oi on the piss.

Portugal and England, world's oldest alliance: Kicking Spain and France's ass for a thousand years.
