Elizabethan England seriously negotiated a joint military strike against Spain with Morocco

Evidence

The idea of a military and naval alliance between Elizabethan England and al-Mansur’s Morocco seems far-fetched now because we know that in practical terms nothing was ever achieved, but there were certainly serious negotiations, their objective being the launching of a military expedition against Spain. In these Anglo-Moroccan talks, the Moriscos were interested parties. Among the emissaries from the Moroccan side were Moriscos. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1611

• XREF: Connects to the broader pattern (in this very book and in the Spanish Armada reading) of small states seeking unlikely alliances against Habsburg Spain.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: how did Morisco intermediaries reconcile their role in Anglo-Moroccan talks with their need to appear loyal to Spain?
