The phrase Protestant Wind has been used in more than one context, notably:
- The storm that lashed the Spanish Armada[1]. According to Protestant propaganda, the wind wrecked the Spanish fleet and thus saved England from invasion by the army of Phillip II of Spain. The English made a commemorative medal saying 'He blew with His winds, and they were scattered'.
- The favourable winds that enabled William of Orange to invade England in 1688, when King James II was deposed in the Glorious Revolution.
