Walter Raleigh Sir Walter Raleigh was born in 1552 in Hayes Barton, Devonshire, London. He was born to a Christian believing family. His nationality was English. His moms name was Catherine Champernowne. He was famous for bringing back tobacco and potato from America to England and discovered the City Of Gold. In 1578 he set sail to America with his half brother called Sir Humphrey Gilbert. In 1584 he set sail to go to America alone this time. He travelled at the age of 25. he explored America because he knew he could discover something like gold or silver or something interesting. He explored by ship because he knew it was the shortest way. He did not get into any conflicts with the Native Americans but he did get into conflicts with the Spanish boats aka Armada. He discovered Guiana and established the Virginia colony of Roanoke Island. He brought America to the world. He was a courtier, soldier, poet, English writer and an explorer. He loved writing poetry about his life. His dad was a farmer, his brother was an explorer called Sir Humphrey Gilbert, and His wife was a princess. (Daughter of the Queen.) He was beheaded in 1618, Whitehall for attacking the Spanish. After his death, his head was embalmed and given to his wife. She kept it with her until she died 29 years later and then put the head in his graveyard which was called St. Margaret’s Westminster. He was well- known for putting a cloak down on a puddle of mud so Queen Elizabeth I’ s shoes won’t get dirty. He failed two missions. One was in 1585 and the second one was in 1587. People saw the importance in his discoveries because he brought America to the world and he brought new food for the people in England. A lot of people had bias because they wanted to protect him. He was under arrest in the custody of a relative (Sir Lewis Stukeley) and also tried to catch a prisoner when trying to escape so that he wouldn't get into trouble.

He was arrested twice. First time was for marrying the queens’ daughter without her permission and the second time was in 1603 after the queen died. He had 4 brothers and one sister. One of his brothers was a famous explorer called Sir Humphrey Gilbert, the other was called Adrian Gilbert and another brother was called Sir John Gilbert. These were all his half brothers. His real brother was called Carew Raleigh. His sister’s name was Margaret. He had 2 relatives with the names of Richard Grenville and Francis Drake. He had a very close friend called Sir Walter long who was also an explorer. The reason he wanted to be an explorer was because he new there were amazing discoveries to make and because he heard of the City of Gofd and wanted to see it. He also wanted to be an explorer because his brother was an explorer. He only explored North America and Guiana. Before he was beheaded, he was given one last smoke of tobacco to continue the tradition. In 1616, he sailed to Guiana again but failed, also attacking the Spanish Settlement. in 1618, He was beheaded by the headsman in Whitehall. Here are a few poems by Walter Raleigh...
