I did not know that Francis Drake was a pirate for the Queen. “El Craque” (okay, yes, we humans should never name things or name ourselves). The Spaniards even went so far as to put a bounty on his head as he pillaged their galleons. And, apparently he made himself and the British very wealthy and powerful.

And that he was the one who led the British when they defeated the Spanish Armada. So, this book was chock full of interesting stuff to learn. How much what he did correlated to the rise of the British Empire.
