D'Orvilliers resigned his post soon after returning to France. 1167:, and set about equipping for battle. This was a problem for the French and Spanish, who were losing men daily to sickness. French military planners also realised that if the invasion were postponed much longer, their troops would be fighting through the British autumn and winter. Accordingly, on that day the leaders of the great Armada abandoned their campaign and set sail for Brest. 1009:
