He continued the excommunication of Elizabeth I of England, and pledged a substantial sum to Philip II of Spain should he successfully overrun England. The Spanish Armada did fail, and the money was never paid. At the time of his death, Sixtus was not particularly well-loved by his subjects. Posterity has vindicated him.
