Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded primarily due to his involvement in a failed expedition to South America and accusations of treason against King James I. In 1618, he was charged with plotting against the king, although the evidence was largely circumstantial. His prior popularity and influence had waned, making him a target for the crown. Ultimately, he was executed on October 29, 1618, as part of the political machinations of the time.
