Raleigh's plan for colonization in "Virginia" (which included the present-day states of North Carolina and Virginia) in North America ended in failure at Roanoke Island, but he paved the way for subsequent colonies to take hold because of the lessons that were learned.
Raleigh was Governor of Jersey 1600–1603, responsible for modernising the defences of the island.
Raleigh was released from the Tower in 1616 to conduct a second expedition to the Orinoco in search of El Dorado, in the course of which his men, under the command of Lawrence Keymis, sacked the Spanish outpost of San Thome.
Raleigh's family was Protestant in religious orientation and experienced a number of near escapes during the reign of the Catholic queen Mary I of England.
In February 2006, a bronze statue of Raleigh by sculptress Vivien Mallock was unveiled in the Devonshire village of East Budleigh.
Raleigh's relationship with Bess Throckmorton and Elizabeth I is the subject of an upcoming film, The Golden Age starring Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth I and Clive Owen as Raleigh.
