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.
