E121. Elizabethan ‘Sea Dog’ Richard Grenville

from History of North America · host History of North America

Sir Richard Grenville (1542-91) Walter Raleigh’s cousin, was a celebrated Elizabethan Sea Dog—an informal name bestowed upon English privateers who were authorised by Queen Elizabeth I to raid England's enemies, even during times of peace. Carrying letters of marque issued by the English Crown, the Sea Dogs frequently attacked both enemy shipping at sea and enemy outposts on land... frequently targeting the Spanish in North American waters and ports.
