Walter Raleigh

Sir Walter Raleigh (c. 1552 - 29 October 1618) was an English adventurer, author, spy, and solider, and one of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era.
Raleigh led multiple colonisation efforts in North America, including the founding of the Roanoke Colony. He also made two searches for the legendary El Dorado. A favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, Raleigh fell out of favour after the accession of King James I, and was eventually put to death.
