WEEK11: Sir Walter Raleigh

Sir Walter Ralegh or Raleigh Portrait, 1588
Retrieved from: Luminarium

Sir Walter Raleigh was married three times. His most famous marriage was to Catherine daughter of Sir Philip Champernown of Modbury. He was Queen Elizabeth's favorite. I believe that Sir Walter Raleigh supports the Renaissance way of treating women. He was married more than once which shows that he just needed a companion and didn't value women much. He was all about being dominant and having money. Queen Elizabeth gave him money but never a title.
