He was the one who took off his red cape and laid it in the mud. He didn’t want his queen to get her feet wet or her long dress dirty. This was a famous act of chivalry and added to his fame as a knight. It also increased his popularity with Elizabeth I. She enjoyed controlling the strong, handsome men who served her in court. They also fought for her in her conflicts with Spain and other countries. Raleigh established a colony in the New World that he named Virginia in honor of Elizabeth’s nickname. However, the first settlement in Virginia at Roanoke was abandoned, and the people disappeared. Raleigh served as captain of the Queen’s guard for a time. He made a lot of money as a merchant sending ships to trade with other countries. He also sent a small fleet of pirates to rob Spanish ships. He searched in South America for a fabulous but imaginary City of Gold. He got secretly married. This angered the queen. Elizabeth had Raleigh and his new wife imprisoned in the Tower of London. Raleigh later arranged their release from prison by writing poems praising the queen. He also gave her ships full of stolen Spanish treasure. Raleigh was not as successful with Elizabeth’s successor, King James I. James didn’t like Raleigh or trust him. James had Raleigh imprisoned in the Tower again for thirteen years. He ordered Raleigh’s execution in 1618. Fascinating People Download 10.24 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
