Disputed History section

I have removed the following disputed text from the article. Please reinstate it if you have reliable references that you can cite for its accuracy.

History

In 1688, when the Spanish Armada was defeated and made its way round England in retreat, one vessel (the name of which has been lost over time) found its way up the Humber thinking it was Valencia and crashed on the beach at Paull. The 6 remaining live sailors were shocked to find that they were in England, so the locals nursed them whilst they were recovering before donating one small fishing boat for the men to try and return to the Netherlands. Whilst in Paull the sailors were thought to have fathered several illegitimate children to local women.

The above account is a nice story, but has no hsitoric fact to support it - it even has the wrong date for the Spanish Armada. There is no evidence that the Spanish ever made it on to English soil and most evidence suggests the ships travelled up the west coast of England (the wrong side of the country for Paull). The village of Paull was used for defending the British coastline from the medieval period until WWII, but most of the time it never actually saw any action.
