@@biddyboy1570 He was a dreadfull poet, aside of one, the last final one of his execution he wasn't good at anything he put pen too. He was a failed writer, end of.
Very interesting video. I’ve been learning about the kings & queens of England (UK) and about all the “side characters” for lack of a better word throughout and he was always one that I found interesting when it got to Queen Elizabeth I.
Thank you for this most informative video! I have to confess my knowledge of Sir Walter was very sketchy, but you managed to sum up his life in a concise manner. 🇺🇸⚔️🇬🇧
It was a dangerous time to be alive even for powerful people. One moment you were the monarch's favourite: the next you could be decapitated in public.
@Robert Doyle Damned right. But even then you could be accused of anything from witchcraft to theft all of which could lead to a gruesome punishment or even death.
I got one for Christmas 1973 at 11 years of age. A yellow one. They were all painted red or yellow as i recall. They looked better than they were... still happy days!
@@292Nigel blue also i think. Never had one-just admired my mates' brand new red. About 75 that was. I had a handed down five speed racer.... 60s vintzge!
Fantastic piece but one amendment, Sir Walter’s noggin is buried in St.Mary’s church, West Horsley with his sons. His wife lived in Horsley Place across the road.
The high pitch tone-possibly in the music- possibly feedback squeal-takes so much from your work. You have decent narrative skills, superb research, interesting topics, a unique perspective, etc. that is marred from something that may be resolved with a simple fix.
I live in sherborne , where sir Walter Raleighs castle is located . Beautiful scenery and gardens , and there is a stone seat overlooking an old road , where sir Walter used to sit and smoke his pipe ...I have sat on the same seat many times as i visit the castle and gardens several times a year .... Google sherborne castle and gardens if you want to see some stunning English scenery , or Raleighs seat if you want to see where he used to sit . Much love from sherborne , Dorset ( or Wessex if your also Vikings / last Kingdom fans lol )
Please do consider talking about the execution of Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, he had a hand in the downfall of the Albany Stewarts and was initially an ally of the crown but he later successfully conspired against King James I of Scotland, as a regicide they made sure his end was particularly nasty even for the standards of those days.
Even such is time Who takes in trust our youth and joys and pays but in earth and dust Who on the dark and silent grave when we have wandered all our days shuts up the story of our days. But from this grave this earth this distance the Lord will raise me up I trust. Poem by Sir Walter Raleigh on the eve of his execution
Wasn't that good a poet at all actually. Aside of the last one pre execution poem, none of them were worthy of repeat. Historic fact he was a bad a poet as a historian. But he died in pain.
My granddaddy Erby Thomas Ayscue aka: Lil Boy was the first tobacco farmer in Raleigh/ wake county to get a whole 1$ per pound for his quality tobacco.... Quite the accomplishment back then !
My first exposure to Sir Walter Raleigh was not as a historical figure who led colonization efforts to the Americas. Rather it was through literature, poetry to be exact. Raleigh was a poet of some skill and talent. Maybe not read so much today as he was when I was a young man in my freshman year of college, but someone still worth reading. My favorite story of the man comes from the last days before his execution. He was apparently not a man who showed any fear of his fate, and was noted to be in high spirits in his final days. One person asked him how he could possibly be so cheerful at such a time. His response? A pun: "At the sad parting you'll find me grave enough." How can you not admire a man like that?
No he wouldn't. He never advocated treason & sedition by violence or other means. He was an accomplished man. Not a professional whiny ass compulsive lying grifter that didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground like those getting banned.
He was from my region, the Westcountry. He was a Devon man, related to Sir Francis Drake, and spoke broad Devonian, which was noted at Queen Elizabeth's court. As a note, at the time he probably pronounced his name 'Wautur Rawlee'. Queen Elizabeth was noted for ribbing him on his pronunciation of his name Walter, dropping the 'l', a common characteristic of Devonian.
James 1 had to prove how tough he was. And let's be real that being a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I didn't help. I've never been convinced that Raleigh wanted to incite war with Spain but he always driven by that deep hatred of the Catholic Church. That said, the charges were trumped up

My goodness a very humbling and man of virtue story about our history. I must remember though he murdered 600 people in Ireland for the queen who were probably as virtuous as he.
