Sword of Sir Francis Drake

Sir Francis Drake, Vice-Admiral (1540–1596) was an English sea captain, privateer, mariner, slave trader, and politician of the Elizabethan era. Drake completed the second circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580. Elizabeth I of England granted Drake a knighthood in 1581. He was second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. He died of dysentery in January 1596 after unsuccessfully attacking San Juan, Puerto Rico. His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English but a pirate to the Spanish, who knew him as El Drake. King Philip II is said to have offered a reward for his life.
