Sir Francis Drake

Front Cover
Barrie & Jenkins, 1990 - Biography & Autobiography - 355 pages
This biography of Drake makes use of Spanish and English sources to explore hitherto neglected areas of his life. Drake is shown not only as a great seaman, but also in a more unfamiliar light as vigorous social climber, businessman and property magnate, Lord Mayor, civic leader and parliamentarian, and as deputy Lord Lieutenant and magistrate.
