Walter Raleigh was born, so Camden and an anonymous astrologer combine to assure us, in 1552. The place was Hayes Barton, a farmstead in the parish of East Budleigh, in Devonshire, then belonging to his father; it passed out of the family, and in 1584 Sir Walter attempted to buy it back. 'For the natural disposition I have to the place, being born in that house, I had rather seat myself there than anywhere else,' he wrote to a Mr. Richard Duke, the then possessor, who refused to sell it. Genealogists, from himself downwards, have found a rich treasure in Raleigh's family tree, which winds its branches into those of some of the best Devonshire houses, the Gilberts, the Carews, the Champernownes.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sailor, soldier courtier, poet By david Robinson This biography was written by Edmund Gosse in1886. He sticks very close to his subject. Thus we learn very little about events in which Raleigh did not play a prominent part. Thus we learn little about the Spanish Armada, and little about the attempted settlement in Virginia with which his name is commonly associated, since although he played a major part in promoting the attempts, he never went there himself.Raleigh's exploits as sailor, soldier, courtier and poet are recounted. His role in the attack on Cadiz and his first visit to the mouths of the Orinoco are awarded some detail. His enmity to the Spaniards and the Irish are contrased with his amicable dealings with the Orinoco Indians.He was at times a close courtier of Queen Elizabeth I, but his relations with james I we re always bad, and ultimately costhim his head. His "History of the world" was so detailed that he never got as far as what would now be accepted as history.There is a full linked index.
