When did Queen Elizabeth imprison Walter Raleigh in the Tower of London for the first time?
A quick look round using google shows that Elizabeth became enraged at Walter Raleigh's love for Elizabeth Frogmorton who was one of the queen's maidens. I haven't any record of charges given to him before his imprisonment, but I am still looking.
Who did Queen Elizabeth I give the right to claim any land in north America not already owned by a Christian monarch?
Queen Elizabeth I first gave the right (patent) to settle any land in the New World not already claimed by a Christian monarch to Raleigh's half brother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert. When Sir Gilbert goes down with his ship in a vain show of bravado, the patent passes to Walter Raleigh. The patent requires English settlers to be in the New World in Virginia, a much larger area than the present state. When the Roanoke Colonists became lost, rumors were kept floating for many years of sightings to reinforce the idea that English colonists were still there. Otherwise Raleigh would have lost his patent. And England would have had no right to send future colonists. http://www.the-lost-colony.blogspot.com/

Why is Raleigh named after sir Walter Raleigh?
Elizabeth I knighted him in 1585. "Sir" is the mode of address given to a knight. It is an abbreviation of the French word "seigneur" meaning Lord. Knighthoods are the title above the common people but below the nobility. Historically they meant that the person held his land by "knight service" to the king, i.e. they provided military service when required. After feudal times, knight service lapsed but knighoods continued to be given by the king as a mark of approval, initially after a battle in which the person had "won their spurs" but more recently for any service given to the state of the United Kingdom.
