When Francis Drake died in 1596 off the coast of Panama, his men thoroughly beaten by the Spaniards, inferior in numbers, there was great rejoicing in the whole Spanish empire. Several commanders hurried to claim the victory for themselves, and one of them commissioned Lope de Vega (1562-1635), the most famous poet of the time, to write an epic poem about Drake’s voyages and death. The resulting product was La Dragontea (1598), which Sánchez Jiménez presents here for the first time in a critical, annotated edition. The introduction and footnotes clarify to what extent Lope used confidential information from the royal archives to construct his historical poem, and unearth documentation about such characters as Pedro de Yalonga, the renegade African slave who, in a dramatic turn, helped the Spaniards defeat Drake.

Presents new DNA evidence regarding a very old controversy - whether the two titled Drake families of Devon are related. Steps through the careers and ancestry of Sir Francis and Sir Bernard Drake, and the various disagreements that have followed interpretations of the life of Sir Francis over the past 200 years. Presents an indication that these Drakes are related more than 1000 but less than 2000 years ago, and might possibly be the result of a very early Scandinavian settlement in the south of England. Recommends further DNA and archaeological investigation.

Abstract: These two history scholars of the early 20th century were at odds with each other and to the California riddle of where Francis Drake spent 5 weeks to repair the Golden Hinde in the summer of 1579. Both men were honored in their professions and respected internationally. Henry Wagner correctly exposed George Davidson’s Drake theories to be off-base. Although Wagner presented a concise case to disprove Davidson’s theories, the evidence Wagner offered for Drake’s anchorage eventually also proved to be flawed. New research indicates that Drake never set foot in any California bay. www.FortNehalem.net

On April 26, 1973 at California Historical Landmarks Advisory Committee, the California agency with the authority to give official recognition to historical sites: “Considered the application for the registration of Drake’s landing site as a State Historical Landmark. There were two delegations present, Robert Power and Raymond Aker, to present different viewpoints as to the actual landing site and their positions were well presented. After considering the evidence presented, the Committee did not reach a decision as to the specific landing site of Sir Francis Drake and a motion was unanimously carried that the application be tabled.”

Статья посвящена анализу проблемы формирования образа «испанца-врага» в елизаветинской Англии, на основе привлечения новых источников, представленных свидетельствами о ходе кругосветной экспедиции Фрэснсиса Дрейка (1577–1580 гг.). Автор выделяет основные элементы негативного восприятия испанцев моряками-протестантами: коварство, жестокость и трусость. В английских источниках проявляется стремление продемонстрировать превосходство Дрейка и его спутников в моральном и культурном плане, их религиозную обособленность в сравнении испанцами.
