    A legacy record alleges a 1596 decree by Elizabeth I to remove Africans from England, but this specific action is not found in the supplied source passages.

Background and detail

Historical Context. Elizabeth I reigned as Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 to 1603. The supplied sources document her political and military activities, including the 1596 raid on Cádiz, but do not mention any specific decree regarding the removal of Africans from the realm.

Source Verification. The provided passages confirm Elizabeth's identity and the year 1596 as a period of activity for figures like Casper Van Senden. However, no passage supports the specific claim of a 1596 decree ordering the removal of Africans, rendering the legacy event unsupported by the current evidence.
