Sir Francis Drake was born 1540, in the estate country of England. Francis was an Englishman and an English explorer. He was a successful privateer, a talented navigator, and one of the most renowned seamen in all history. He was part of the Engish defeat over the Spanish Armada and being the first englishman to sail across the world. All the articles that I read it didn’t have any sayings about his parents. When he was 18 years old he started ship trading to the Bay of Bicay. By the time he was 23 he went on slaving voyages to Guinea in West Africa. At 24 he was named captain of the Judith. On the Judith he started going on expeditions around the Spanish Main in the west Indies and Central America. Most of there ships were sunken by the Spaniards on there expeditions. He played a big role in history because he helped the English defeat the Spanish and became the first Englishman to travel around the world. Along the way he had a few problems, and met a few friends. One problem he faced was the Spanish attacked him and his men and they almost killed him. Lucky for him and a couple of other men they survived but just barely making it out alive. It will seem as though they would retaliate they didn't they just keep on going on expeditions and they camed prepared this time so if they meet them this time they will have the fire power to back them up. When they last met Sir Francis and his men were prepared for them and defeated them and took over Nombre De Dios. He played a big part in the English history because he defeated the Spanish armada and put a end to there high crime and robberies. Sir Francis Drake died in the year of 1596.
