A tyrant at sea, a teenager in wartime, a gangster of legend…
There's something very odd about that piece about Drake, since Elizabeth wasn't born until 1533, and didn't become queen until 1558
Er, not sure what you mean! Drake's circumnavigation was between 1577 and 1580, during Elizabeth's reign. The dates in the first footnote refer to Magellan, much earlier,
Drake was a pirate. He is regarded well because of The Black Legend of Spain in the New World.
Yes, definitely a pirate! I didn't really have space here to go into that, but I was tempted!
Blessings and thanks for your good work!
Thank you!
