A wealthy businessman and prime oppressor of the Irish got him all the golden stars with the Queen, and enough so to have him become captain of the Queen's Guard for a while.
SarahHOST
Ooh la la.
YennieHOST
While he acquired land and influential positions like hotcakes, Sir Raleigh, he just wanted a taste of the sea, all right? So, it wouldn't be odd for Queen Elizabeth I to accept his petition to expedition out and find a new colony for England.

No, no, but- So the King's Guard that's over in Britain, they're redoing the bearskin caps, you know, those giant little furry little hats that they have.
Dana LoeschHOST
They're redoing them, and they said that they have to redo it.
Dana LoeschHOST
What are they gonna do with the current ones? I mean, that's just like a waste of it if you're just gonna toss it, right? That doesn't make any sense So they said that the defense minister says real bear skin is impossible to justify and it must meet with today's ethical standards.

Shayla FontaineHOST
So strong was the power Sir Walter Raleigh wielded in the late 1500s when that conquest first began.
Shayla FontaineHOST
Who do you think came up with the name Virginia, a tribute to the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I? Raleigh did, of course, her favorite courtier and confidant, captain of the Queen's Guard.
Shayla FontaineHOST
And yet, despite this powerful influence over what our world looks like today, very few people know the first thing about Sir Walter Raleigh.
Shayla FontaineHOST
Who was he really, and how did he go from the Queen's favorite golden boy to beheaded at Westminster in the span of just a few decades? Let's fix that.

Shayla FontaineHOST
She gave him a position in Parliament, which came with vast estates, you know, land in Ireland.
Shayla FontaineHOST
She let him live at Durham House, this very posh mansion in London.

She made him captain of the Queen's Guard, which annoyed some of her other courtiers who had been around much longer, like Robert Devereaux.

When they had arrived at Coventry, a poor shoemaker, who used to serve him with shoes, came to him and said, O my good master, God strengthen and comfort you.

PaulHOST
There is not one job in the United Kingdom where they say to you, you're not allowed to drink water.
PaulHOST
So, unless you are a beefeater or the Queen's Guard, where they're not allowed to drink water, and even then, they've got little bottles of water by the side of them.
PaulHOST
But unless you are them, it is very unlikely that you're not allowed to drink water.
PaulHOST
Or if you're a surgeon, maybe.
