Look up the phrase "badass" in the dictionary and you'll find Sir Francis Drake's picture next to it. Few mariners have ever had such mighty brass-clad cannonballs.

I love that he is from a Yeoman family and rose to knighthood through sheer merit.

"Drake" The very definition of a real man.I grew up on "Sir Francois Drake boulevard ",Swimming with the sharks in "Drakes Bay, calif.",my middle name is "Francois",Some of my best friends went to "Drake High School"....Many a function i attended had references to "Sir Francois Drake"......I Now reside in a small mountain town of" Drake"colorado....I simply can't get away from the "Fella"....I would have gone to adventure with him any where, any time....Bad Ass England was lucky to have had ,and have his "Mighty Spirit"....Thank you

Greatness from small beginnings

That was an excellent episode. Thankyou for your awesome content as always.

"Receive my spirit" as they burn me alive. What a world.

A great documentary about a great man ❤❤❤ I only knew about his exploits in defeating the armada until I watched this video ❤❤❤

Sir Francis Drake is one of my favorite historical figures! ❤

Sir John Hawkins is my ancestor and name sake.

My family is indirectly related to sir Frances drakes niece from his sister if I remember correctly. Lol no wonder why I have a love for the music of Alestorm and RumAhoy! 😂

Named one of my Corgi’s after him.

As someone who most definitely chooses "Trek" over "Wars", I must say I take a great delight every time a historical documentary uses the phrase "resistance is futile" (is/was!). The juxtaposition of the origin of the phrase and the context in which it is used is most pleasing to me :)

The scourge of the spanish armada🎉🎉🎉🎉

In Spain in the old days they used to chastise children with, Drake is going to get you.😅 Similarly in France, the name of Old Talbot, John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury was likewise invoked.

Mary I looks like Dennis waterman in that painting (4:15) 😂

Can I hear lots of angry Spanish noises?

Did he have beef with Duke Kendrick?

He was a privateer. Not a pirate.

I would like to point out the Drake was the FIRST captain to SUCCESSFULLY circumnavigate the globe.

Are there any movies about/with Drake?

thanks i learned a lot

Drake was a genius when it came to navigation, HE IS THE FIRST and only person who circumvented the entire world ALIVE, Magellan may have wanted to do so but sadly for him only his dead body "accomplished" that

they not like us!

He's also a 5 star Rider in FGO. "She", actually.

28:36 I love maps. I LOVE your People Profiles videos. I would love it if you would use more / better maps. The map at 28:36 lacks key labels (like "Drake's Passage"!) and the thickness / placement of the line seems to obscure what you're trying to show... Thank you for all your wonderful videos 🙏

Hi. I think Sir Francis Drake (1540? - 28.1.1596), a very interesting and clever man for the time and reign of Queen Elizabeth I (7.9.1533 - 24.3.1603). I don't know how he became a clever and resourceful man of his time, but I'd guess he had a lot of practice on how to become one. Didn't he? He is most well known for leading and helping the English army against the bigger and more dangerous Catholic Spanish Amarda. The size of the two armies is unclear to me, but I'd estimate the English army to be about 16,000, and the Spanish army was at least 55,000 strong. He wasn't alone when that time neared and arrived, as John Hawkins and Sir Walter Raleigh joined him in leading the English army against the bigger Catholic Spanish army. It's often said and thought he decided to play and finish a game of bowls at Plymouth in Devon whilst he waited for the amarda to arrive eventually. But when it did appear, he just decided to finish the game first. I'm not sure how many English ships there were in total that were against the amarda of 130 ships in total. He also travelled around the world in late 1577 and dropped anchor in Southampton Harbour on 26th September 1580, having just been on an expedition and pinched a load of gold and other bits of loot on the way. Upon returning to England, he was knighted on the deck of his ship, The Golden Hind. However, just over 15 years after returning to England, he died of dysentery on 28 January 1596. He was at least 56 years old at the time. He was Queen Elizabeth's pet pirate due to what he brought back to England with him. Hope to hear from you shortly. Robert 9.8.24

I lived in Spain in the seventies and my Spanish friends taunted me by calling me Geoffrey el pirata Ingles! There were other taunts too risqué to note here but nevertheless I was adopted as part of their Spanish family. Countries decide who is friend or foe but individuals choose their own friends or foes.

Francis Drake - The original ‘Loose Cannon’

Original Top G

Drake, the Queen's "Buckner" who laid siege to Cartagena de Indias in 1586; a ransom of about 300K "pesos" was paid to Drake to leave Cartagena be. On the plus side the now famous "Mojito" was originally contected to fight the tuberculosis' that was being spread because people were finally down to eating Rat meat in order to survive the siege.; later the mojito recipe traveled to Cuba, and there it became what it is today.

Several landmarks in northern California were named after Drake, beginning in the late 19th century and continuing into the 20th century. American historian Richard White posits that the origins of these commemorations come from 19th-century Anglo-Saxonism. Public scrutiny of these memorials intensified in 2020, after the George Floyd protests drew critical attention to place names and monuments perceived to be connected to white supremacy, colonialism, or racial injustice. Several California landmarks that commemorated Drake were removed or renamed. Citing Drake's associations with the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism and piracy, Sir Francis Drake High School, in San Anselmo, California, changed its name to Archie Williams High School, after former teacher and Olympic athlete Archie Williams. A statue of Drake in Larkspur, California was also removed by the city authorities. Multiple jurisdictions in Marin County considered renaming Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, one of its major thoroughfares, but left the name intact when they failed to reach a consensus. In San Francisco, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel was renamed the Beacon Grand Hotel.

The BRAVE English among us....

We Not Like Him, what a crazy life

You could make a film about him and nobody would believe it’s true.

Brave..

Sic Parvis Magna

The man known to history as James Cook

He really was an evil bastard wasn't he! Saved England did he, from the war that he started, sadly for the Spanish the only place he fired blanks was in Bed!

The BRAVE English.

Calling him the man who saved England is going a little too far. The only time he had the chance todo that (1588) his performance left a lot to be desired, according to his comrades. So, unless he was the one who had the idea of using fireships, I don't think how he could claim to have saved England.

He had permission from the queen, Pirates didn't

most despicable man in history

I think he was both those things tbh
