The VENGEFUL Execution Of Sir Walter Raleigh - The Tudor Explorer 

Crew M’lord?

Sounds like the result of a... cunning plan...

Don’t forget the fine wine “Baldrick’s Water”!

@@astralclub5964 Cappuccino with extra Froth ........Anyone , only problem is Baldric is on honeymoon with a Ravishing turnip .

I just quoted Blackadder as I was watching XD.

It's odd how much he is revered in North Carolina considering he never set foot on NC himself...

He was married to one of my relatives. The queen imprisoned her, but she was eventually released.

he was no more then a thief, slaver and murderer.

@@billyjesus5442 Triggered Billy? 🤣

@@billyjesus5442 Can you find no virtue in this man?

Amazing coincidence. Sir Walter Raleigh referenced the Beatles when asked by his girlfriend, "What wouldst thou liketh to hold, good sir? Mine foot or mine hand?" Needless to say, Sir Walter didn't choose her foot.

@@ryans756 that was quite clever

Why lie?

@6figureceleryjfs378 who's lying?

@@More-Space-In-Ear You, boy

@6figureceleryjfs378 listen boy, I don't need to lie, I have truth, google Thomas Wyatt 1554, find out about his affair with Anne Boleyn and what ended his life...be a good boy now, off you pop..

Yea great storyteller and great research, but diction is fucking awful.

😂😂🤣❤️

And they're generally putrid grubs

There arose a new Pharaoh that knew not Joseph, correct sir!

Tell me about it.🙄

facts

error Flynn, one of the best actors that ever lived. R.I.P.

and FYI. Alan Hale Sr. who stared with error Flynn in a few movies, was the father of the skipper from Gilligan's Island.

Yeah, however he wasn't a wimp like most modern American hipsters.

She still knows where to pull the strings

Queen Elizabeth II is the most wealthy & well known woman on Earth. She is head of state of 53 countries not to mention her Royal Navy, Royal Air Force & Royal Army Ground Forces, her face is on her own money. The British & Commonwealth countries are truly blessed to have such a wonderful person as Queen, & as for having no power you have been badly informed. She is a leading light in the darkness & a powerful force for good & honesty throughout the world. 🇬🇧

@@leddielive You realize you’re talking about the same queen who covered up for her son who ran around with Epstein? God knows what else the elites get away with

Neh, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, owner of L'Oréal is the current richest woman in the world. The Queen is still mega wealthy though, rich enough to shelve out millions for Andrew's sex assault case on an under age girl while us plebs go through the worst cost of living crisis in decades. Nothing against her personally but the whole concept of monarchy is ridiculous and needs to be dismantled.

@@leddielive like Elizabeth 1 our Queen has seen England in one of Its darkest hours and did her bit for the war effort in WW2. she also held her hand out to families who lost loved ones to Covid 19.

English colony. Britain as a country did not exist until 1707.

I live in the town 3 hours east of you. Your city is the capitol of our amazing state.

Like that interbreeding remark....... Might have been rape or consensual fornication, or both 😏

@@themadfarmer5207 The broad array of evidence suggests a harmonious relationship that lasted for years.

The evidence is that they packed up and took to piracy when the supplies ran out as hitting Spanish treasure ships were both sanctioned and easy pray for the colonists who settled in the Caribbean after the war.

Oh dear lord 🤦

Was the executioner a Raleigh Chopper?

@@Grim_Beard 😂🤦

The executioners were long gone. But their big axes still survive to this day. Creepy. 😬😬😬

But I read that it was his good friend Laurence Kemys who led the attack on the Spaniards, against Walter Raleigh' orders and that the attack had led to his son, also called Walter, being mortally wounded. Also, he went to apologise to Water Raleigh Snr, who would not accept his apology, so Kemys killed himself.

Can't blame the King? The King was a selfish dolt,like most of his predecessors

I think it is important to realize that Spain was no friend of England's, and that any English expedition to the Spanish colonies was likely to result in a clash if the two sides encountered one another after decades of warfare. Despite the outward appearance of peaceful relations, after the Treaty of London, the two were natural enemies. Protestant England and Catholic Spain, any rapprochement could only be temporary, and so it proved to be. Spanish colonial authorities could not look with favor upon the arrival of an armed English fleet off the coast of Guyana. This is similar to say, a US armed reconnaissance taking place off the coast of Vietnam shortly after the Fall of Saigon. An American President might describe it as peaceful, but it could never be viewed that way by local authorities. SImply because an expedition had been sent to locate a golden city, and had supposedly peaceful intentions, the explorers would have been armed as they did so. Raleigh's was an armed expedition. Without permission from the Spanish King, there can have been no other outcome other than a clash - if Spanish forces were encountered. The Spanish settlement attacked was Santo Tome de Guayana. Natives in the area of Raleigh's exploration were reportedly hostile to the Spanish Crown, however, and assisted his expedition. The existence of gold was not purely a myth, and at El Callao (Venezuela), significant deposits of gold were discovered during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The Orinoco basin, or Orinoco Mining Arc, as it is referred to these days, did turn out to be a sort of El Dorado. So Raleigh wasn't far off with his inclinations. The Spanish approach after Elizabeth I's death, was to bribe high ranking officials at the Stuart Court, including the King, in order to secure English cooperation, a royal match between the King's son and a Spanish Infanta, and a cessation of English naval activity in the Spanish New World. James I shares some blame here, as he allowed Raleigh to undertake an expedition into Spanish American waters, then disavowed it after the Spanish Ambassador complained at Court. This was no longer the world of Elizabeth, and to put it bluntly, Spain had undermined the English Court with the provision of gifts, pensions, and expensive jewels. Philip III had attempted much the same in the Netherlands. Many historians have questioned the undue influence of the Spanish Ambassador, Gondomar, the spider at the center of this Spanish web. It was the Spanish who insisted on Raleigh's execution, and a brutal one it was at that. The entire Raleigh affair is somewhat distasteful, with blame to be found on both sides. I agree that it was unwise of Raleigh to venture again into the Orinoco basin, a clash with Spanish authorities was inevitable. These English explorers, seasoned in the Elizabethan Age of Privateering, proudly Protestant, having spent their formative years fighting Spain upon the high seas, were not likely to be reasonable men. Like Essex, it was simply in Raleigh's nature to be headstrong and it is likely that he spent much of his captivity dreaming of a return to El Dorado and the Orinoco Basin. It reminds me of Conrad's book, "Heart of Darkness," or the central character in Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now." I think Raleigh was obsessed with a successful return to the New World, the Orinoco is also an impressively stunning area of natural beauty. One can just imagine Raleigh tossing and turning, dreaming of a return to Paradise, like so many explorers before him. Was he all that different to Cortez? All of these adventurers were of the same character, courageous, aggressive, and daring, it simply wasn't in their nature to hold back and be reasonable. It would have been better, really, if Raleigh had perished off the coast of Guyana, pursuing his dreams of El Dorado. A fascinating character indeed.

ALL ROYALS ARE !!!

@@janeholmes9374 i mean... that's like saying anyone in any position of authority is inherently a narcissist. I'm sure you, as a normal human being have quite a few privileges that other people do not have but that doesn't make you ( well, by default) an asshole. I personally think that judging someone just because they were born into power and wealth is ethically problematic, losing empathy for people because of envy and resentment sounds wrong. Royals weren't the nicest because because being nice on the throne can get you killed and other people killed. They were strict because they had to be as people were always looking for loopholes to squeeze their way into it like disgusting mice. Unfortunately, it resulted in alot of executions of said innocent people.

Assuming Walter Raleigh wasn't a narcissist himself LOL. This is the way these people were back in those days. A certain retelling of his story and you would actually more properly call him a pirate.

I thought they called him tamauhtoe. 😊

They're still called "earth apples" in some languages

@@dominiquewild3823 le pomme de terre

@@greengoblin876 and Aardappel in Dutch .

They're nothing like apples really, when you think about it. And thank goodness! Imagine Halloween? Dunking for potatoes? Oof. Whole different ball game.

The head of my x-wife.......maybe.

Unfortunately one of those people was Prince Henry Frederick Stuart who had died. The prince had kept him alive.

“When You Play The Game Of Thrones, You Win Or You Die.”

Absolutely. The tonal habit of going down at the end of every single phrase is particularly poor - he could really learn from a session with a voice coach. A few odd pronunciations too - courtier pronounced court-y-air for example. And some text sloppiness - an early example: “a huge amount of things”. Ugh. Sorry, but an interesting story deserves better.

Oof. You're as bad as me. And as good :)

@@ryans756 Thank you ;) still a lovely video too

@@yeller212wmj7 Absolutely. And I'm sure he'll get better and better once he's battled his way through puberty.

@@ryans756 of course, I just noticed a pattern in his content.

@@yeller212wmj7 A lot of them do it. I take consolation from the fact that these click-baity tactics aren't really aimed at me. They're aimed at lesser folk. You know? Trump supporter types. People for whom bright flashing lights draw the attention in ways you and I will never understand.

Oh, don't worry.......in about 100 years books will praise the likes of Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau as 'the most compassionate leaders of the free world at the time'. That won't matter though. If things keep going the way they are, the average person won't be able to afford a book, the internet, a device to view it on, or the inevitable brain chip that allows you to see it all 'mentally' and search by thought alone.

It was the macho culture where failure was considered a kind of disgrace. Failure now by any individual is passed on down the line until it reaches the lowly serf. Most of those situations are covered by the Due Diligence trap door. Certification from B t o cover As arse with certification from C to cover Bs arse.... How long is a piece of Due Diligence string and let of the hook string???

Bad rulers should have their colloquial nickname used instead of proper name

Because she was a bloody papist.

Because she deserved it! As bad as her gran!

Bloody Mary came by her name honestly, she tried to get the English people to be catholic again after her father had done the same kind of thing but the Anglican church, her father had shown her how to be a brutal tyrant, they think now that Mary may have had a brain tumor to go with the cancer she had all over her body, she had blinding headaches, so she would be a woman that we would sympathy, if not for the burning and head chopping, anyway that is why she's called bloody Mary...her father should have bloody before his name as well....be safe

Read up on her. She was referred to as 'Bloody Mary' for a reason.

Outside of a baptism cermony (I doubt he was consulted!) there was very little Catholic about King James I.

Hmmm, I thought James I was Protestant…y’know, the King James Bible and all that there stuff.

@@harrybrooks8514 Yes you are totally correct, his mother was Catholic but he was head of the Protestant church in Scotland.

Some protested in the day that it was too easy a death.

And I suppose you believe the earth is flat too🤣🤣

Home of Lizard lick towing!

@@cambs0181 Actually its beside Raleigh, but it is close!

For sure. No wonder she was so salty when he married in secret. Hell hath no fury...

Do him? What do you mean DO him? Pervert.

Yes, read that too about Robert Cecil. I've wondered if Francis Bacon was also involved in Raleigh ' s demise as well.

Talking of pronunciation, I remember seeing a documentary about Raleigh's life and the historian narrating the programme said "By the way, it's 'Ra-lee' bikes but it's 'Sir Walter Raw-lee' . He also said that the famous incident with the cloak probably never happened, as it was first documented some 80 years after Raleigh's death, maybe just to illustrate what a gentleman (Crawler?) he really was.

And Paris is pronounced Pareeeeeee. Who cares how Spaniards mess with the letter Z?

@@ryans756 I do

@@svenred6eard757 Doesn't really matter though, when you think about it, does it? Every non-English-speaking country has an alternative name for mine, but do I go to the French and say IT'S PRONOUNCED ENGLAND!? No. Because I'm not a douche.

@tacfoley Doish.

I should think that was perfectly obvious. Just looking at him you can tell, he's dapper as fuck.
