My death has come. October 29, 1618

I knew that when we got back to England, I was going to be executed. Like I said, when we got back to England I was arrested and in pursuance of the king's promise to Gondomar, Iwas executed under my old sentence on the 29th of October1618. My death was not painful, and I was not tormented. I was beheaded. My death was short and painless. I died with serenity and dignity. My wife, Bess, survived me. and Carew Raleigh. My enmity to Spain made me a popular hero. I was buried in St. Margaret Churchyard, Westminster, London, England. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to my exploration.

 This is my favorite picture, which was of me   being knighted by the Queen. :)
