The Tower of London is a castle located in London alongside the River Thames which was first built by William the Conqueror from c. 1077 and significantly added to over the centuries. Often referred to in England as simply 'the Tower', it has served as a fortress, palace, prison, treasury, arsenal, and zoo. A castle with the darkest of reputations, fallen kings, queens, and traitors were amongst those sent to the Tower, although surprisingly few inmates were executed within the castle's grounds. Today, it is a major tourist attraction with visitors eager to experience for themselves a place steeped in the history of England like no other, to admire the picturesque Beefeaters, and be dazzled by the fabulous Crown Jewels.

Colonisation Portugaise des Açores

Les Açores sont un groupe d'îles de l'Atlantique Nord qui étaient inhabitées avant d'être colonisées par les Portugais à partir de 1439. Les Açores revêtaient une importance stratégique pour les navigateurs portugais qui s'en servaient comme tremplin pour progresser le long de la côte de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et comme point de ravitaillement pour les navires revenant des Indes orientales et ceux en route vers les Amériques.

WALTER RALEIGH

d. 29 October 1618

Walter Raleigh was an English soldier and explorer, a well-known figure during Queen Elizabeth I's reign, and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada.

In 1591, he secretly married Elizabeth I’s lady-in-waiting, Elizabeth Throckmorton. After the queen died, he was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London under King James I for treason for being involved in a plot against the king. During the search of El Dorado in 1616, his men ransacked a Spanish outpost which was against the terms of his pardon. When he returned to England, he was arrested and executed in Westminster. He was shown the axe that would be used to behead him and he stated that the axe was ‘a Physician for all diseases and miseries.’ His head was embalmed and presented to his wife, his body was laid to rest in St. Margaret’s, Westminster. Lady Raleigh kept his head in a velvet bag until her death 29 years later. His head was removed and was interred with his body. His death was seen as ‘unjust’.

Walter Raleigh

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) fue un corsario, soldado, marinero, explorador e historiador inglés. En algún momento fue el favorito de la reina Isabel I de Inglaterra (1558-1603) y organizó tres expediciones para formar una colonia en las costas de Norteamérica en la d��cada de 1580. La colonia fue abandonada, pero las expediciones fueron notables por la introducción del tabaco y las papas en Inglaterra. Con una colonia infructuosa y el desprecio de la reina por haberse casado con una de sus damas de compañía, Raleigh decidió entonces ir en busca de El Dorado, la fabulosa ciudad de oro de Sudamérica. Una vez más, el éxito fue esquivo. De vuelta en Inglaterra, el aventurero fue acusado de traición por el rey Jacobo I de Inglaterra (1603-1625) y encarcelado en la Torre de Londres por 13 años. El marinero varado se dedicó a escribir poesía y una importante obra de historia y, contra todo pronóstico, fue liberado en 1616 para explorar Sudamérica una última vez. Esta expedición final fue otro fracaso que lo condujo una vez más a prisión. Raleigh fue ejecutado en la Torre en 1618.

27th July 1586, English explorer, politician, spy and pirate (according to the Spanish), Sir Walter Raleigh brings the first tobacco to England from Virginia. The plant was already known to the English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, who referred to it as the "sacred herb", because it was considered medicinal. The first recorded use in England of it being smoked, was recorded by English clergyman William Harrison in 1573. Despite its popularity, Stuart King James I, and VI of Scotland, wrote of his dislike of tobacco in a pamphlet titled ‘A Counterblaste to Tobacco’ in 1604; stating that it was a custom ‘ lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, and dangerous to the Lungs’, On the same day and year, English astronomer Sir Thomas Harriot, who is also known to history as the first person to draw a map of the moon, brings the first potatoes to Europe; on return to England after being part of Sir Walter Raleigh’s Roanoke expedition. The potato became a staple of European food by the 19th century, especially in Ireland, staving off famine, throughout periods of war, and climate change triggered by the last interval of the Little Ice Age. 29th July 1588, the Spanish Armada fleet is scattered and damaged by the English Navy, following the Battle of Gravelines in the Spanish Netherlands. On the previous day, the English had sailed fireships into the armada which began the breaking up of the ships’ close formation. Both navies after the battle suffered horrifically with the English ships suffering an outbreak of typhus, with further disease and starvation killing the sailors. The Spanish Armada with many damaged ships after the battle were pursued by the English until (Continued in the comments). #walterraleigh #sirwalterraleigh #elizabethi #elizabethan #tobaccoleaf #virginiahistory #jamesi #potatohistory #potato #roanoke #roanokevirginia #16thcentury #ageofdiscovery #spanisharmada #tudorhistory #littleiceage #shipwreck #shipwrecks #thespanisharmada #sirfrancisdrake #britishhistory #englishhistory #claypipe #claypipes #claypipesmoker #historicalstory #historystory #thehumblepotato #thepotato #tobaccopipe https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9Q6uInAWF/?utm_medium=tumblr

There’s a new podcast episode out, and we’re diving into the first two chapters of Shadow of Night! We meet some of Matthew’s crew including this guy here on the left, Walter Raleigh (as painted by Nicholas Hilliard circa 1585. Yes, the same Hilliard that painted Matthew and Diana’s miniatures.) We bring some levity (as you know we do now and again!) and fondly compare his likeness to Tom Mison (the chap on the right), as well break down the other finer details of these chapters. . . #Repost @DaemonsDiscuss: ����🎧NEW Take 26 - The One With the Boys 🌟 Description: The reader, like the collective heap of vampire and witch, is splashed into 1590, and it seems the temperature not as quite as comfortable as we had hoped! In this episode, we explore the first two chapters of our favorite book in this series, Shadow of Night. We find that Matthew Clairmont's past is not quite a tidy hole that Diana Bishop's future could easily squeeze into! Join us as we meet Kit, George, Thomas, Henry and Walter (aka, The School of Night). .

Les Chiens de Mer - les corsaires de la reine Élisabeth Iʳᵉ

Les chiens de mer, comme les autorités espagnoles les appelaient de manière méprisante, étaient des corsaires qui, avec le consentement et parfois le soutien financier d'Élisabeth Ire d'Angleterre (r. de 1558 à 1603), attaquaient et pillaient des colonies et des navires espagnoles dans le seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. Ayant seulement un certificat issu de la reine pour les distinguer des pirates, les marins comme Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540-1596) et Sir Walter Raleigh (c. 1552-1618), ainsi que leurs bailleurs de fonds, devinrent extrêmement riches. Élisabeth Iʳᵉ et son gouvernement, étant incapables de commercer légitimement avec les colonies du Nouveau Monde parce que Philippe II (le roi d'Espagne entre 1556-1598) conservait son monopole, avaient plutôt recours au vol pour persuader le roi d'Espagne de changer de politique. À mesure que les relations anglo-espagnoles se détérioraient, les corsaires devinrent un outil utile pour réduire la richesse de l'Espagne et perturber le projet de Philippe II de construire son Armada avec laquelle il espérait envahir l'Angleterre. Bien qu'ils aient eu du succès à certains égards, en particulier avec des captures telles que celle du navire Madre de Deus, les corsaires ne travaillaient pas suffisamment ensemble pour constituer une menace sérieuse et persistante à la navigation espagnole qui commença à utiliser des convois armés avec beaucoup d'efficacité. Toutefois, pendant quelques décennies, les rapides navires anglais, hérissés de canons et commandés par des aventuriers audacieux, faisaient des ravages en haute mer.

La captura del barco Madre de Deus

El barco del tesoro Madre de Deus (Madre de Dios) era una embarcación portuguesa que transportaba un cargamento inmensamente valioso de las Indias Orientales y que fue atacado y capturado por una flota de corsarios ingleses en las Azores en 1592 d.C. El barco, lleno de joyas, perlas, oro, plata, ébano y especias fue el mayor tesoro jamás capturado por los corsarios que saquearon el Atlántico durante el largo reinado de Isabel I de Inglaterra (que reinó de 1558 a 1603 d.C.). La captura fue ideada por Sir Walter Raleigh (en torno a 1552-1618) y las ganancias de £80.000 por la inversión original de Isabel de 3.000 libras ayudó a reparar las relaciones entre el aventurero y su reina, garantizándole la liberación de la Torre de Londres. Este fabuloso tesoro inspiró a muchas otras flotas de corsarios a surcar los mares, pero ninguno volvería a capturar ningún barco tan rico como el Madre de Deus.
