Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do not know the true purpose of their journey to England. They are being used by King Claudius to escort Prince Hamlet to England, where he is supposed to be executed. The two friends are unaware of the plot against Hamlet and are manipulated by the king for his own political gain.

In 1584 and 1585 respectively, two voyages were made to Roanoke Island to find a suitable military bastion. Both groups consisted of men only. The third voyage in 1587 consisted of men, women and boys. All three voyages originated in England.
Hamlet single handedly kills three people: Polonius (Laertes' father) by accident, Laertes with a poisoned rapier (that was originally Laertes' at the beginning of the duel, they scuffle and accidentally switch rapiers), and the King (his uncle) by forcing him to finish the poisoned wine (the same wine that Hamlet's mother, the queen, accidentally drank. it was originally meant for hamlet to drink). You could say that Hamlet basically killed rosencrantz and guildenstern too. He sent them to England in place of himself, and the letter that Hamlet was supposed to deliver said, "kill the person that delivers this message," so, naturally, the two were killed by authorities in England. Hamlet betrayed them, so he's somewhat responsible for their deaths.
Hamlet relays to Horatio that two days on his voyage to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, they were overtook by pirates. Upon boarding the pirate ship to stand and fight, Hamlet was captured. Hamlet says in his letter that the pirates were well in their mercy, but of course expected some kindness back in some way. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are safely on their way to England still. Hamlet has been released by the pirates and now writes to Horatio to tell him that he's alright. He also tells Horatio to escort his messengers to the King and Queen, for they have messages for them too. Later on, Hamlet reveals to Horatio what Rosencrantz's and Guildenstern's fates are.
Several countries sent explorers, including England, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Hamlet's childhood friends. Claudius sends them to spy on Hamlet.
