Patriot or traitor : the life and death of Sir Walter Ralegh Cover Image Book

Patriot or traitor : the life and death of Sir Walter Ralegh / Anna Beer.

Life and death of Sir Walter Raleigh (other title)
Beer, Anna R., 1964- (author.).

Summary:

"Sir Walter Ralegh's life is romantic, irresistible and of central importance to our island story. His death is a convoluted and contested tale of bargaining, failure and betrayal. Through the Elizabethan golden age and Ralegh's famous adventures to the final act, Anna Beer presents his stranger-than-fiction life in all its richness. How could a man once the Queen's favourite find himself consigned to the Tower by her successor? Should his legacy be fame or infamy? Who was the real Sir Walter Ralegh?" --Provided by publisher.
