Elizabeth (Bess) Throckmorton.

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.

Queen Elizabeth 1 didn't send him to find a colony. Raleigh put together and invested in the Roanoke Voyages, though. He did travel to South America, but he did not travel himself to North America.

In 1587, Walter Raleigh sent John White back to Roanoke to recolonize and to regroup in Jamestown. In 1585 they tried this but after one year it failed. This second colony in 1587 which also included women and children. White was going to return in a few months with more supplies but when he got back to England they were prepared for war and he came back in 3 years to find the land quiet and house empty. It is still a mystery today what happened to the "Lost Colony."

Hope that helped from my social studies text book :

The American Nation pg. 87-88

there was another question asking who introduced the potato to Ireland was answered with a simple, most history books will tell you that sir Walter Raleigh did indeed introduce the potato to Ireland and tobacco to England.

The potato - but it's a debatable point.

Potatoes and tobacco, from USA.Fist good for you second not so good

Sir Walter Raleigh was sent to the Tower of London on November 17, 1603. This imprisonment occurred shortly after the accession of King James I, who viewed Raleigh with suspicion due to his past associations and political activities. Raleigh was later tried and imprisoned again in 1618, leading to his eventual execution in 1618.

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

The story is apochryphal. Reports of Ralegh laying down his cloak for QEI did not surface until, I think, sometime in the 1700s. There are no contemporary reports of his having done so.

he wore metal armer

Ralegh did not go to North America. He had several voyages to South America - the final voyage being his undoing. He put together voyages to North America but he never accompanied them. His North American attempts at colonization took place in 1584, 1585 and 1587. The 1587 group ultimately became known as the lost colony.

sir Walter Raleigh met queen Elizabeth because sir Walter Raleigh was walking along the street and he stopped at a mud puddle and took his coat off put in over the puddle and then queen Elizabeth walked over it

I looked on this page in the related link below.
It was Sir Francis Drake in 1580 when he returned from his circumnavigation of the globe

Concerning settlements in North America, Ralegh sponsored, along with other investors, and organized the first two of the four Roanoke voyages. The first was in 1584 and the second in 1585. The two voyages were mainly reconnaissance expeditions and consisted of men only. The third voyage was in 1587 and consisted of men, women and boys. It was the only one of the first three voyages that truly attempted settlement in the New World. It took place on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. It was a failure. Ralegh did not sponsor the settlement voyage. He had sold his interests to others and he merely lent his name to the organization of the expedition. The fourth voyage in 1590 was an attempt to find out what had happened to the 1587 settlers. No trace was found other than two somewhat cryptic clues carved into a tree and a palisade. Ralegh did not accompany any of the voyages and his only trips to the Americas were to South America.

Sir Walter Raleigh is predominantly known for exploring The Americas ie. he sailed West from England. The key aspects of his travels are:

1578 - Sir Walter Raleigh sails with his half brother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, in the "The Falcon" to America.

25 March 1584 - Walter Raleigh receives the patent to explore and settle in North America.

1584 - Sir Walter Raleigh's fleet of seven vessels under Richard Grenville and Ralph Lane, with 108 men, reach Roanoke Island and establish a colony on 4 June 1584.

6 February 1595 - Sir Walter Raleigh leaves England to sail to the New World to search for the city of El Dorado (the City of Gold).

1595 - Sir Walter Raleigh explores the Orinoco.

1616 - Raleigh travels to Guiana, but his mission fails and he attacks a Spanish settlement (for which he was beheaded in 1618).

he traveled to three places

Yes it was named after the famous British explorer.

Raleigh was a complex man. He wanted to please the Queen so was a pirate for her to raid Spanish ships. She would get upset with him and put him in the Tower of London in his quarters arranged for him. He sponsored the Roanoke colony.
