Ultimately, he was beheaded outside the Palace of Westminster.

Coale MindSir Walter Raleigh and President Trump's election lawsuitsIn 1603, Sir Walter Raleigh was convicted of treason and executed based on an out-of-court statement by Lord Cobham -- despite Sir Walter's objection that "[Lord Cobham] is in the house hard by, and may soon be brought hither." The result of Raleigh's trial is a rule against "hearsay" testimony, and that rule was dispositive of a vote-counting case in Michigan last week. Raleigh is best known for introducing tobacco-smoking to Europe, but his legacy is also directly relevant to our ongoing election about the 2020 vote count. 2020-11-0811 min

HansoniusChristopher Marlowe VS Sir Walter RaleighThe Passionate Shepherd to His Love
by Christopher Marlowe
1599
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields
Woods or steepy mountain yields
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flower, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

Nature That Washed Her Hands in Milk
by Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 – 1618)
Nature, that washed her hands in milk,
And had forgot to dry them,
Instead of earth took snow and silk,
At love's request to try them,
If she a mistress could compose
To please love's fancy out of those.
Her eyes he would should be of light,
A violet breath, and lips of jelly;
Her hair not black, nor over bright,
And of the softest down her belly;
