Greatest Britons: Sir Francis Drake I – GB 071122

Sven Longshanks and Max Musson celebrate the life of the famous privateer and explorer.

Sir Francis Drake was seen as a pirate by the Spanish, but by the English he was one of our greatest heroes, defeating the Spanish Armada and circumnavigating the world.

He started life as the son of a farmer and it wasn’t until he saw English sailors left to die by the Spanish that he took up privateering against them

He treated everyone with respect, from the slaves that he freed, to the crew on the ships that he captured.

He behaved chivalrously and would only with the natives when they refused his offer of peace.

Presented by Sven Longshanks and Max Musson
