Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a knighthood in 1581. He was
second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in
1588. He died of dysentery in January 1596 after unsuccessfully
attacking San Juan, Puerto Rico.
His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English but a
pirate to the Spaniards to whom he was known as El Draque. King Philip
II was said to have offered a reward for his life.
