He was a monk from Bristol, England in the mid-15th century, and his poetry captivated

of authors from his time.

His beginnings hadn't been as extraordinary though.

15 weeks after Raleigh's birth, his father sadly passed away.

His mother did her best to raise him, and instilled in him the benefits of a good education

His father had also been a poet, so it only seemed fitting that Raleigh would join in

the family business.

But Thomas was more interested in his uncle's background, specifically with regard to the
