13130historical_info = flavor_eng.136.historical_info Francis Drake is best known for his daring exploits as a naval commander during the Elizabethan era. He circumnavigated the globe, attacked several colonies along the Spanish Main, and seized a number of treasure ships bound for Europe loaded with gold and silver, which helped weaken the Spanish hegemony in the New World. He would come to play a critical part in the defense of England against the Spanish Armada in 1588.
