Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthralling new biography of the most exciting and charismatic adventurer in the history of the English-speaking world Tall, dark, handsome, and damnably proud, Sir Walter Raleigh was one of history's most romantic characters. An explorer, soldier, courtier, pirate, and poet, Raleigh risked his life by trifling with the Virgin Queen's affections. To his enemies—and there were many—he was an arrogant liar and traitor, deserving of every one of his thirteen years in the Tower of London. Regardless of means, his accomplishments are legion: he founded the first American colony, gave the Irish the potato, and defeated Spain. He was also a brilliant operator in the shark pool of Elizabethan court politics, until he married a court beauty, without Elizabeth's permission, and later challenged her capricious successor, James I. Raleigh Trevelyan has traveled to each of the principal places where Raleigh adventured—Ireland, the Azores, Roanoke Islands, and the legendary El Dorado (Orinoco)—and uncovered new insights into Raleigh's extraordinary life. New information from the Spanish archives give a freshness and immediacy to this detailed and convincing portrait of one of the most compelling figures of the Elizabethan era.

Download or read book The Life and Times of Sir Walter Raleigh written by Earle Rice, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Walter Raleigh streaked across the Elizabeth heavens like a bright, shining star. Often regarded as a true Renaissance man-that is, a man gifted with many talents and abilities-he lived life to the fullest. Born to adventure, Raleigh parlayed a sharp mind and a yen for prestige and power into enough living for a dozen lesser men . As soldier, swashbuckler, writer, historian, poet, explorer, businessman, and more, he rose in favor at the court of Elizabeth I-England's Good Queen Bess-and made history as he wrote it. Raleigh fought courageously for England in France, Ireland, and elsewhere at sea. He founded the first American colony at Roanoke Island in the New World, introduced tobacco and the potato to Ireland, and searched for the golden city of El Dorado in South America. At the peak of his fame-some say infamy-he knelt down as a commoner and arose as a knight. When fortune failed him, and his star fizzled out, he showed brave men how to die. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: From the start of her liaison with Sir Walter Ralegh, Beth Throckmorton, maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth I, was thrown into the dangerous and violent political world of Elizabethan England. Overlooked by the court and high society, dismissed with no rights as a woman in a fiercely male establishment, she was yet forced to play for high stakes. Her acute intelligence and commercial acumen ensured her survival. Indeed, so great was her success that two monarchs, Elizabeth I and her successor James I, felt threatened by her and sought to destroy her. But her success in her pursuit of power and wealth, in her struggle for justice and to create a future for herself and her children did not come without its price: her own imprisonment and interrogation, banishment and destitution; the loss of her husband and two of her three children. Her ultimate triumph over adversity is an extraordinarily dramatic and compelling story, till now untold. As the wife of Sir Walter Ralegh, the Elizabethan adventurer and scholar, Bess Ralegh was to become the driving force behind his spectacular public achievements and the focus of stability in his otherwise turbulent private life. Later, as his widow, she shrewdly ensured his heroic reputation. But Bess Ralegh was more than a foil for her husband. Her independence of spirit had led her to resist marriage at 17 and eight years later to embark upon the passionate and illicit affair with Ralegh. Her remarkable emotional strength and resilience sustained her throughout successive personal tragedies and political disasters that could and did break others, her husband among them. Each time misfortune struck, she rallied. Twice from scratch, she rebuilt her fortune, taking on her enemies with a courage and resilience that make her a woman as remarkable today as she was in her own time. She is here brought brilliantly to life by Anna Beer in a perceptive and immensely enjoyable biography.
