his
coat in a muddy puddle so that Queen Elizabeth I could walk across it, Sir
Walter Raleigh committed himself to pleasing his monarch and obtaining power in
her court. He heroically risked his life in battle time and again, chasing
after glory to win her favor. His notoriously ill-fated quest for the
mythological golden city of El Dorado was perhaps his grandest attempt, but it
also was his
undoing, and Ralegh ultimately paid for his mistakes with his life.
...charismatic and brave, he was brilliant as well, and his contributions to
the New World and to western culture as a whole were vast and enduring."
