Abstract: There is a fairly broad consensus that 1565 is one of the defining moments of our history. Along with the reputed Christianization of these islands by the Apostle St. Paul and that other great siege closer to our times during the course of the World War 11, the 1565 Siege constitutes one of the legs of the tripod on which sits much of our 'identity'. The latter is a fertile field which has been much ploughed up of late but it is not my intention to wade into it here. What I propose to do instead in this short communication is to go back to the primary documentation that is available, to question some of the received opinions about the siege and lodge it within the wider scheme of things.
