1591
1591 Sir Walter Raleigh or Ralegh married Elizabeth Throckmorton in secret. She was one of Queen Elizabeth the First's ladies-in-waiting. They did not have the queen's permission and because of this, both Walter and Elizabeth (his wife) were sent to the tower of London.
September 10, 1591 Sir Richard Grenville died near the Azore Islands. He died from wounds sustained in a battle at sea with Spain. He was 49 years old.
1594
August 1594 to March 31, 1603 was the Nine Years' War (Gaelic Irish Chieftqins vs. England). It's also known as Tyrone's Rebellion.
1594 Sir Walter Raleigh or Ralegh heard the reports of a city of gold located in South America. He sailed off to find it, but didn't, and he exaggerated his experiences, which led to the myth of El Dorado.
