Greatness from small beginnings
Can I hear lots of angry Spanish noises?
Drake was a genius when it came to navigation, HE IS THE FIRST and only person who circumvented the entire world ALIVE, Magellan may have wanted to do so but sadly for him only his dead body "accomplished" that
He was a privateer. Not a pirate.
Several landmarks in northern California were named after Drake, beginning in the late 19th century and continuing into the 20th century.
American historian Richard White posits that the origins of these commemorations come from 19th-century Anglo-Saxonism.
Public scrutiny of these memorials intensified in 2020, after the George Floyd protests drew critical attention to place names and monuments perceived to be connected to white supremacy, colonialism, or racial injustice.
Several California landmarks that commemorated Drake were removed or renamed.
Citing Drake's associations with the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism and piracy, Sir Francis Drake High School, in San Anselmo, California, changed its name to Archie Williams High School, after former teacher and Olympic athlete Archie Williams.
A statue of Drake in Larkspur, California was also removed by the city authorities.
Multiple jurisdictions in Marin County considered renaming Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, one of its major thoroughfares, but left the name intact when they failed to reach a consensus.
In San Francisco, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel was renamed the Beacon Grand Hotel.
Mary I looks like Dennis waterman in that painting (4:15) 😂
Why are people now saying "Would have" instead of Had ? Stupid americanisms
He's also a 5 star Rider in FGO. "She", actually.

I would like to point out the Drake was the FIRST captain to SUCCESSFULLY circumnavigate the globe.
He was rewarded with stolen Irish lands
Original Top G
He had permission from the queen, Pirates didn't
Francis Drake – The original ‘Loose Cannon’
The BRAVE English.
The BRAVE English among us….
Brave..
28:36 I love maps. I LOVE your People Profiles videos. I would love it if you would use more / better maps. The map at 28:36 lacks key labels (like "Drake's Passage"!) and the thickness / placement of the line seems to obscure what you're trying to show… Thank you for all your wonderful videos 🙏
Drake, the Queen's "Buckner" who laid siege to Cartagena de Indias in 1586; a ransom of about 300K "pesos" was paid to Drake to leave Cartagena be. On the plus side the now famous "Mojito" was originally contected to fight the tuberculosis' that was being spread because people were finally down to eating Rat meat in order to survive the siege.; later the mojito recipe traveled to Cuba, and there it became what it is today.
That was an excellent episode. Thankyou for your awesome content as always.
Calling him the man who saved England is going a little too far. The only time he had the chance todo that (1588) his performance left a lot to be desired, according to his comrades. So, unless he was the one who had the idea of using fireships, I don't think how he could claim to have saved England.
Interesting video
My family is indirectly related to sir Frances drakes niece from his sister if I remember correctly. Lol no wonder why I have a love for the music of Alestorm and RumAhoy! 😂
most despicable man in history
El Drake means the Drake. Morons.
I think he was both those things tbh
"Drake" The very definition of a real man.I grew up on "Sir Francois Drake boulevard ",Swimming with the sharks in "Drakes Bay, calif.",my middle name is "Francois",Some of my best friends went to "Drake High School"….Many a function i attended had references to "Sir Francois Drake"……I Now reside in a small mountain town of" Drake"colorado….I simply can't get away from the "Fella"….I would have gone to adventure with him any where, any time….Bad Ass England was lucky to have had ,and have his "Mighty Spirit"….Thank you
thanks i learned a lot
Fortunately, Spain defeat him.
English always pirates.
"Receive my spirit" as they burn me alive. What a world.
Sir Francis Drake is one of my favorite historical figures! ❤
He really was an evil bastard wasn't he! Saved England did he, from the war that he started, sadly for the Spanish the only place he fired blanks was in Bed!
How can a people inspired by the likes of Sir Francis drake today be governed by the shameless Keir Starmer who is in the path of the islamification of this great nation ?
You could make a film about him and nobody would believe it’s true.
I lived in Spain in the seventies and my Spanish friends taunted me by calling me Geoffrey el pirata Ingles! There were other taunts too risqué to note here but nevertheless I was adopted as part of their Spanish family. Countries decide who is friend or foe but individuals choose their own friends or foes.
This is a great video. My wife is 19th generation Great Niece of Drake. Her family name changed from Drake to Compton after his execution.
Super content. Congratulations!
“There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory”

That’s my uncle!!!!
