M Walter Raleigh (also spelled Ralegh) was born into a well-connected gentry family at Hayes Barton in Devon in around 1552. He attended Oxford University for a time, fought with the Huguenots in France and later studied law in London. In 1578, Raleigh sailed to America with explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert, his half brother. This expedition may have stimulated his plan to found a colony there. In 1585, he sponsored the first English colony in America on Roanoke Island (now North Carolina). The colony failed and another attempt at colonisation also failed in 1587. Raleigh has been credited with bringing potatoes and tobacco back to Britain, although both of these were already known via the Spanish. Raleigh did help to make smoking popular at court. Raleigh first came to the attention of Elizabeth I in 1580, when he went to Ireland to help suppress an uprising in Munster. He soon became a favourite of the queen, and was knighted and appointed captain of the Queen's Guard (1587). He became a member of parliament in 1584 and received extensive estates in Ireland.

Sir Walter Raleigh, of Hayes Barton, Woodbury Common Recommended by Sir Walter Raleigh was born at Hayes Barton which is on the edge of Woodbury Common, near the village of East Budleigh, Devon, England. Also see my separate page on Raleigh's attempts at the colonisation of America. Sir Walter Raleigh. His background. He was born in 1552, during a time when his father leased Hayes Barton from the Duke family of Otterton. He was half brother to Sir Humphrey and Sir John Gilbert, from his mother's first marriage. He had a brother, Carew, and sister, Margaret. The spelling used in those days was rather erratic and thus "Raleigh" is just one of the (over 40) ways in which his surname was written. He used numerous of these spellings, with "Rawleigh", "Ralegh" and "Rawley" being more often used than the currently accepted version. His name was pronounced "raw lie" and it is said he is never known to have used the modern "Raleigh" spelling. He is known to have attended church in East Budleigh. The nearby sea-side town of Budleigh Salterton is the setting for the painting "The boyhood of Raleigh" by Millais (on show at the Tate Gallery, although from May 20th. to September 30th., 2000 it will be in an exhibition about Raleigh at the

Share on Facebook Sir Walter Raleigh Biography Explorer Scalawag Sir Walter Raleigh was one of the grand scalawags of the Elizabethan Age. He made a name for himself fighting the Irish at Munster; later he was introduced at court and became a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I . Known for his wit and womanizing, Raleigh was in and out of Elizabeth's favor. (According to a famous legend he once laid his plush and expensive cloak over a mud puddle so that the Queen's feet would not be dirtied; the legend has long been disputed, but it may actually be true.) He also organized expeditions to the new world, popularized tobacco, and found time to write poetry on the side. Raleigh was not a favorite of Elizabeth's successor, James I , who kept Sir Walter imprisoned in the Tower of London for years and finally had him beheaded in 1618. Extra credit : After Raleigh's execution, his head was embalmed and returned to his wife... Some sources say on the day he was beheaded Raleigh was granted a last smoke of tobacco establishing the tradition of giving a prisoner a last cigarette before execution. Other leading figures of Raleigh's era include author William Shakespeare , sea captain Sir Francis Drake and astronomer Johannes Kepler ... Other beheaded English citizens include Anne Boleyn Lady Jane Grey and Sir Thomas More Raleigh joins John the Baptist in the loop Heads With a Life of Their Own Four Good Links

16. Renaissance Man Short history includes Raleigh s background and his accomplishments. http://www.yesnet.yk.ca/schools/projects/renaissance/renaissanceman.html

SIR WALTER RALEIGH Renaissance Man INTRODUCTION Sir Walter Raleigh was perhaps the most colorful personality of the Renaissance. BACKGROUND Sir Walter Raleigh was born in Hayes, Devonshire. This was the beginning of an incredible life. Sir Walter Raleigh later attended Oxford but did not finish there. Instead he studied law in England. He also did not finish there. Instead he went on an expedition of piracy with his brother Sir Humprey Gilhar in 1578. In 1580, Raleigh became the captain of the army of Ireland and suppressed a rebellion. Ten years later, in 1590, Raleigh was at the height of his power. By this time he was known as one of the dashing personalities of England. He had been knighted and was one of the queen's favorites. He was so popular with the queen he was granted 12,000 acres of land in the new world. A short time later his power dropped severely. He lost the queen's favor by marrying one of her maids of honor. In 1603 things were even worse. The queen died and the new king charged Raleigh with treason. After the king locked him in the London Tower for twelve years, he finally convinced the king to let him free by promising him the gold of Spain. The king had ordered him not to engage the Spanish in war but Raleigh's son attacked a village and was killed. Upon return to England Raleigh was executed for disobeying orders. In 1618 Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded but he faced his fate bravely. He joked with his executioner and even gave the signal for the axe to fall... After all he was a Renaissance man.
