Menendez founded San Agustin and slew Fort Caroline
The French menace called for action, and Philip sent his ablest seaman to eject the intruders and colonize the threatened coasts.

Ten days later he marched stealthily overland, surprised Fort Caroline at dawn, and mercilessly slew most of its defenders.1
