Raleigh became famous for several reasons. He was an English explorer and helped bring people to the new world. He was with the first colony when it landed on our shores of Roanoke but he soon left and didn't get back for 4 years. By the time he got back the colony was gone. He wrote several books and Queen Elizabeth had him imprisoned several times in the "Bloody Tower" in the Tower of London when she got mad at him (I think she liked him). You can visit the Bloody Tower today and see some of his personal items like his bed, a book he wrote and some bits of furniture He even had a private garden there, so his stay wasn't as bad as others. I think she just wanted to teach him a lesson or two.
