Holt, Emily Sarah, 1836-1893
Title Clare Avery
A Story of the Spanish Armada

I bet a good library search for fiction published before 1920 with the subject of Tudor England would turn some stuff up, too, which we could then hunt down on Gutenberg. I'm guessing there are heaps we'd say "oh, of course!" about, if someone mentioned them.

Incidentally, I bet Elizabethan seafaring (Francis Drake, Spanish Armada, etc) could be a theme in its own right.
