Best Answer

Sir Walter Raleigh was a famous English explorer in the late 1500s (1570s to 1590s) who helped set up the New World (AKA North America). He did not go on the first expedition with Amadas and Barlowe, or the second with Ralph Lane, but first came on the third expedition to Roanoke in Virgina with. He was the overall leader under Queen Elizabeth I and was knighted for his "successes". Raleigh, North Carolina was named in honor of him.
