520 |a The necessity for secrecy in planning and launching the Armada was considered imperative by the Spanish government. Yet news and rumors of it were common throughout Europe even before it was assembled. That those reports were so divergent and contradicotry not only underlines the fact that much inaccurate information was given out but also that there was considerable confusion about the nature and purpose of the Armada at the highest planning levels. This can be attributed in part to the personality and governing style of the king himself, but even more to the kind of advice he received from his chief military commanders and to drastic changes in the external conditions affecting the Armada, including the weather. Nevertheless, recognizing the investment and commitment that had already been made and the more limited objectives Philip II had for the Armada by 1588, his conduct was not so inconsistent after all.
