Explanation:

"The Speech to The troops at Tilbury" was delivered by Queen Elizabeth on 9th August 1588, addressing the English troops assembled at Tilbury in Essex who were stationed there to fend off an expected invasion by the Spanish Armada. 'Ethos' is a characteristic spirit of the person speaking. In the speech, Queen Elizabeth relies heavily on the rhetorical appeal to ethos to show and establish that she is a capable commander. Even though she is a woman physically, she is at heart brave and capable like a king, a true leader.
