Best Answer

In 1587, Walter Raleigh sent John White back to Roanoke to recolonize and to regroup in Jamestown. In 1585 they tried this but after one year it failed. This second colony in 1587 which also included women and children. White was going to return in a few months with more supplies but when he got back to England they were prepared for war and he came back in 3 years to find the land quiet and house empty. It is still a mystery today what happened to the "Lost Colony."

Hope that helped from my social studies text book :

The American Nation pg. 87-88

Which favourite of elizabeth was executed for treason?

In 1618, one of Queen Elizabeth I's court favourites, Sir Walter Raleigh, was executed by order of her successor, James I. In 1603, after Elizabeth's death, Raleigh was sentenced to death for plotting against the new King (James did not like Raleigh), but this was commuted to imprisonment and Raleigh was sent to the Tower of London. In 1616 Raleigh was released from the Tower in order to set out on an expedition to look for El Dorado, and a possible haul of gold. However, the expedition did not succeed and Raleigh also attacked the Spanish during this period, against the orders of King James. When he returned to England therefore, the death penalty came into force again, and Raleigh was subsequently executed.
