It is that if we look in history we will see that there were Spanish corsairs with a much more successful career than that of Francis Drake and other English pirates who in most cases died violently and in frank decline. For example, the Spanish corsair Amaro Pargo had a much more successful and long career than, for example, Blackbeard. Amaro not only was able to survive piracy, but he died peacefully in his house after having achieved nobility and being one of the richest people in Spain at the time. That really is a successful career and worthy of being remembered.

The trade of slaves between the Spanish colonists and vessels from another country than Castille and Aragon followed a script. They would anchor off the coast, the colonists would fire off their cannon, the slavery would land with a force of men and attack the town, and the colonists would give up. This way they could tell Spanish bureaucrats they "had" to buy slaves as part of the surrender(at quite a discount from the Spanish prices).

Sir Francis Drake is one of the greatest men in history and doesnt get the credit he deserves. His achievements in exploration and navigation rank along side that of Captain Cook and while Magellan gets the credit for being the first to circumnavigate the globe, he never actually achieved it as he died along the way. Drake completed the task and lived to tell the tale. And his contribution in helping to defeat the Spanish Armada is as significant as Nelsons defeat of the French at the battle of Trafalgar. Both helped turn the tide and helped Britain dominate the seas for centuries. The only difference being is Drake survived and lived to tell the tale. And where as Nelsons achievements where deliberately hyped up by the powers that be for propaganda purposes to give moral to the nation, Drakes achievements were deliberately played down by the powers that be because Queen Elizabeth wanted to keep things secret from the French and Spanish rivals. Drake is thought to have discovered far more judging by charts and maps created unofficially at the time but much of the evidence is thought to have been lost or destroyed during the Great fire of London or the English civil war.

Thank you for this video. It is quite accurate except for a few areas where you need more explanation. The massacre in Rathlin was in contrast to virtually all of Drake's character so I give Drake the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't do it. Drake's first trip on his own was entirely reconnaissance for a planned attack to follow. And when he first attacked Nombre de Dios, on his next trip, he found a huge warehouse full of silver. Drake directed his men to break down a massive door which he thought was protecting a huge amount of gold. He passed out from loss of blood due to getting shot in the foot and his men abandoned the whole campaign to get their beloved captain Drake back to the safety of the ship. The Doughty incident was not right either. Doughty was a clear mutineer and Drake had every cause, legal and moral, to execute him.

A reason the English Navy did so well against the Spanish was the use of flintlocks in the cannon which could fire at a greater rate than the Spanish fuses. Drake was continually begging Elizabeth 1 for more ammunition. My favourite Drake legend was from Drake's Leat, which brought fresh water from Dartmoor to the rapidly expanding Plymouth (and handily supplying water for his mills as well). When the leat opened, he galloped next to the flow of water on a white horse all the way to Plymouth (to Drake's reservoir on North Hill). When this story got to the Spanish, they had him in such high esteem that the story was that Plymouth needed drinking water, so Drake rode to the moors on a white horse and commanded a river to follow him all the way back to Plymouth. Plymouth hides her exceptional history well.

In one of AC Black Flag DLC's your can get his privateering uniform, his sets of silver broadswords and his flintlock pistol, but however flintlock firearms weren't yet invented until the early 1630's almost 35 years after his death in 1596 so Drake's flintlocks in the game are historical incorrect. The only firearms that were around Drake's time were matchlock and wheelock.

Ironically when tracing my roots through my mother's side, it goes back to Francis Drake... On my father's side... Spanish! Lol! My son is named after him Drake, not Francis. Shocked my parents don't get along. Shocked I tell you.

I had to do a reasearch paper on him in World Civilization class. Even had to build a ship. All the other kids had to build a very specific ship, such as a Frigate or a Galleon, and what they were used for. My teacher gave me a 'Fire ship.' I dont know what that says about me at the time or why she thought to give me that specific... I would say Catagory of ships, since Drake had used mainly broken down ships for these 'Fire Ships.' I was able to build literally any ship he was known to use. Which is alot of them, so I chose the Frigate. Its my favorite style of ship, I dont know why. I think it stems from the early days of Pirate of the Carribean online and my choice of ship was always a frigate, more specifically the War Frigate. That was untill the Brigs came in on an update to the game.

As a kid, I read G. A. Henty's " Under Drake's Flag". Almost half a century later, I still remember, albeit vaguely some of the scenes. There is of course a slab stone monument in California but not much else to remind one of him. Since he himself was dealing with slaves, he was after all not much different from the catholic spainiards. G A Henty however ignores it and now my childhood hero, unlike Thomas Cook, has shown his feet of muck. Nevertheless a significant contributor to english Maritime and geographical know-how, that would make this island folk the greatest maritime empire builders on earth.

The Drake-Norris expedition was support for the King in Exile who had lived in England for years after Spain had claimed the throne for its own. It was expected that rebels would rise up and support Antonio. That support never materialized and doed any hope of the expedition being a success. Also, Norris was on the ground in A Coruna and in charge of the infantry. Up until this period naval expeditions for most Euro countries had a sea captain, usually of low birth, who got the army to where it was going and the army was led by a nobleman. It was Drake's execution of Douty that began to signal a change that would really begin in the next century and the British Navy became a professional force.

Alright! I live just a few miles inland from where he allegedly(hearsay ) moored to repair the Golden Hind. There's a very very long road that goes from the tip of the point at the Lighthouse all the way to the Bay , about 50 miles or 60, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. And on a barely related point, me and my old man used to always joke around and say allegedly when someone would say hearsay and or vice versa

I am a direct descendant of Francis and I would or couldn't ever not like my relative. He comes from a loyal, noble and honorable and christian family. He was not a terrible or cruel man. Every ship captain or in Francis case and admiral) was tough on thier crew back them. He is no different. His hatred of Spaniards was his drive and to beat them from taking all the gold. People assume things bad of my Francis and they dont know what and how he did things. Our family has those writing and records that are not for the public to read. Slavery was the one thing that he did do that was wrong and had some family that would not admit he was related. He didnt do or make bad disissuns any different then others back them. I am a bay area native and yes, Salsatito bay was named after him( drake Bay). False records and writings were written on some of this dealings as of other American or world history was.
