Spread across centuries and the entire globe a sleepy village in Devonshire, a 1950s Hollywood film set, a horse galloping around a Victorian racecourse, the Beatles meditating in India, a border conflict in South America and a storm sweeping across the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1993... they all lead back to Sir Walter Raleigh. He is a man of contradictions: the outsider who sought access to the royal court, a monarchist who later became a hero to the republicans, a lover and a fighter, a pirate and a poet, the last great superstar of the Elizabethan era and the first victim of the Stuart dynasty. Let's follow his rise, his fall and his legacy.
