The Roanoke Voyages (three in all, not counting John White's return trip in 1580) made the first English trips to what is now North Carolina, but in the 16th century the entire country was named Virginia in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. While Ralegh certainly put the first two voyages together and retained a portion of the third voyage in 1587, he did not travel to Roanoke Island or any part of North America himself.
