ReplyDeleteYou ALL are certainly seeing the strong connection between Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I! Seems like the Queen would have the kind of influence that Raleigh might need in order to make his dreams of exploration a reality. I guess we'll have to read and see!

ReplyDeleteSir Raleigh gave the queen advice about how to run the country and in return she gave him a palace, and the country wine business. I think that she was very smart to not get married.
ReplyDeleteSir Walter Raleigh and Queen Eizabeth 1 did not have a relaionship. Becase Queen Eizabeth made him mad, because she made him stay with her. So Raleigh's cousin Sir Richard Grenville,commanded the ships instead. That's what made Raleigh mad.
