Was Francis Drake knighted on April 4? Was he knighted as soon as he stepped off the boat? -- Zoe
- When I checked this fact I saw several references to him being knighted while still on his boat. The Queen wanted a portion of his loot that he stole from the Spanish so she was very motivated to "legitimize" Drake's actions by knighting him. This pissed Philip off something fierce. --mav
