Good news! I get to keep my dear husband’s head. I get to keep a part of him with me. #hisheadisinabag #iwilllovehimforever

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

Why hello twitter. This is Elizabeth, Walter’s wife. He was officially beheaded. #iamsosad #ilovedhimsomuch #iwillmisshimdearly

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

Elizabeth won’t be able to save me. I am starting to accept death now. I won’t let this scare me. #goahead #”WhatdoyoufearStrikemanstrike!”

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I just got back to England and I am being taken back to the tower! #ihopemywifecansaveme #whysthishappeningtome

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I didn’t find any gold :(. But, I did find a potato plant and some tobacco! . #hopethisisuseful #whywasntthereanygold?

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I’m officially leading the mission to Guiana , to find the legendary land of gold, El Dorado! #wishmeluck #hopeihitthejackpot

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I just found out I was just released so they can behead me now! At least I get one last trip to Guiana. #ihopeitsnotafailure #illstaystrong

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

YAYAY!! After 13 years I’m finally being released from the tower! I guess they know the truth now. #imsohappy #nomoretorture #nowimfree

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

WHAAAT! I was just committed to the Tower of London! At least I'm not getting beheaded. #ihatetheseaccusations #idontwannahurtkingjames

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

Everyone thinks I want to hurt the new King because he took Queen Elizabeths place! I DON’T WANT TO GET BEHEADED. #imnotguilty #pleasehelpme

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I think King James might be afraid of me…? #whydoesnthelikeme? #whydoiscarehim?

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I got a lot of #booty from the raids we took on the Spanish! #victoryisours #iamreturningwithtreasures

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

Woohoo! Victory against the Spanish armada!! #wewon #imthebest

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I just married the love of my life, Elizabeth, who is one of the queens courtiers. I hope the queen doesn’t find out #wellgetintrouble #ohno

That's strange. Everyone from my second voyage to Virginia disappeared. I wonder what happened. #wheredidallthecolonistsgo?? #wheresroanoke

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I just founded a new colony, Virginia! I named in honor of Queen Elizabeth. #ilovethequeen #shesthebest

[sir walter raleigh @sir_walter__]

I'm SOOO glad I'm from a wealthy family! I can fund my own voyage from North Carolina all the way to Florida! #iwannabefamous #gimmethegold
