Obviously, you knew that there was a great deal of progress in Elizabethan
England!
Queen Elizabeth I paraded around England
in a PR campaign that was called "progresses".
(This was very clearly explained by the genius,
James Burke, in the television program, "Connections". You must
have seen it!)
They were very popular, with much celebration and music and
that's where the nursery rhyme comes from.
The progresses made her accessible to the people and she became a greatly
loved monarch
because everyone truly believed that she cared for the welfare of the country.
In fact, she did.
England, under Elizabeth's reign prospered and was never invaded.
However, the Spanish did try to invade England
with fleet of warships called "The Great Armada", and it did sink,
but not in Madrid. It sank during a storm in the English Channel.
Clyde was not involved.
