Who was Sir Walter Raleigh?

Answer 1

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) was most famous for his exploration of the Eastern part of what is know the United States.

Elizabeth I knighted him, but her successor James I (who wanted to stay in Spain's good graces) had him executed after attacking a Spanish outpost in South America

Answer 2

Sir Walter Raleigh attacked a Spanish settlement, got beheaded in the tower of London by Queen Elizabeth 1st and also became her favourite explorer but he soon lost his favouritism by falling in love with 1 of her maids which lead to beheadment!!

Ralegh accomplishments were many and varied but he was not beheaded by the order of Queen Elizabeth I. By the time Ralegh was executed Elizabeth had been dead for 15 years and the order for execution was given by King James on a charge of high treason. While it is true that he did marry one of Elizabeth's ladies-in-waiting (Elizabeth "Bess" Throckmorton), the marriage did not lead to a death sentence. He and his wife were imprisoned in the Tower of London but eventually released.
