Look & Learn No 754 (26 June 1976) - Dynasties of Destiny: Dutchmen Who Ruled Britain

Classic piece of Roger Payne vivid sunlit action, with a barely repressed emphasis on hairy sweaty armpits...

The Dutch resistance, lead by William of Orange (William the Silent - lower image) destroy their sea defenses in the war against Spain and Phillip II (upper image). You've got to fight for what you want (yes, wrong war, but you get the idea...)!
