Walter of roles biography

The son of a seedy Devonshire nobleman, having studied for a couple of years in Oxford, went to France at eighteen years old, entered one of the units of the Huguenot army and fought there for several years. Then he returned to England - and again went to fight, this time to the Netherlands, where the struggle with the Spaniards was going on. In Raili, it is involved in the suppression of the Irish uprising.

Raili first went to sea, and in - gg. The land, where the expedition Raili landed the colonists, he called Virginia, in honor of the reigning queen-girl. It was during these years that Raley won a brilliant position at the court of Queen Elizabeth, who, with her characteristic wisdom, exalted well -showing people, regardless of their nobility. However, he was certainly her favorite, and what is the true meaning of this word in relation to Elizabeth, unknown to anyone.

Raili was erected to the knightly title, and in the city of Raili, the pirate flotillas, which rob Spanish ships in the Atlantic, organize a number of new expeditions, participates in the defeat of the Spanish armada, and becomes one of the most active supporters of broad colonial expansion. Raili’s position at the court worsened significantly in the summer of G.

But soon he again gains some influence at court, and in the city of Portrait of Sir Walter Raili at the age of 34 on the left - the inscription with his motto: Amore et virtute “Love and Virtue”. The death of Elizabeth was a disaster for Raili. He took an active part in the conspiracy against the new stewarta dynasty, was deprived of Jacob I - immediately by reign - all titles and privileges, and soon arrested, accused of state treason and sentenced to death.

The execution, however, did not take place, but there was no official pardon either - Raili simply spent almost thirteen years in Tower before March 19. The years, these years did not pass freely for him. He created a chemical laboratory in prison, in which he managed to desalcate sea water, as well as to make some potent heart medicine. In these years, he wrote one of the first in English of treatises on shipbuilding and sea tactics and began the “World History” by the first volume of which, published in the city Raili made a considerable contribution to the history of English philosophical thought, in his philosophical treatises there are materialistic and even atheistic notes.

And finally, it is time to say that this outstanding figure of science and culture of the era was a wonderful poet, whose verses have not yet lost popularity among English readers. In prison, of course, he continued his literary activity. And when some literary scholars attributed the authorship of Shakespearean plays a mug of writers-fan-thoughts, headed by Raili, they, at least, called a candidate who could safely take one of the leading places in English literature.

Sir Walter Raley and his son Walter Well, and if the reader was not very excited by the amazing and diverse talents of Walter Raili, then let me recall that our beloved vegetable - potatoes - appeared in Europe thanks to our hero. True, he is also attributed to the spread of tobacco, but other information is also found on this subject. All thirteen years that Raley spent in Tower, he did not stop trying to break free.

The method was the only one - to seduce the King Guyan gold that had always needed in the money of the king. True, over the years, not one English navigator has set off along this route, but no one managed to find in these areas the “golden deposits”. Raili, thus, promised to achieve that no one had succeeded. And on March 19, Raley left the Tower, and on August 19, Jacob I and his entourage, unlike Elizabeth, pursued an incident policy, and a clash with the Spaniards in such a campaign was inevitable, although it was officially prohibited.

And although the Spanish ambassador to London Gondomar failed to interfere with the British to the enterprise, he timely informed not only the departure of the expedition, but also about its forces, intentions and route. Raili's position turned out to be desperate. The Spanish strengthening of San Tome was captured during the assault of which the son of Raili Walter Jr.

died, but there was no gold in his environs. The rebellious team, fearing new skirmishes with the Spaniards, forced Railie to turn home, and subsequently prevented Raley at least somehow compensate for the unsuccessful way-piracy. The gondomar, having learned about the attack on San Tome, told James a decisive protest and demanded that Raili be punished with pleasure.

Raili’s attempt to justify his success did not have a formally unlimited sentence of G. recall the “Requiem”, written by Raili in the last hours of life: here is the time: taking everything - youth, joy, life of strength - will pay us with earth and dust; It is in the silence and darkness of the grave, when the earth is finished, but I believe: over the ground and ashes, I will ascend a single fellow.
