Goofs: Factual errors: Raleigh’s introduction of the potato to court is fiction. The Conquistadors in Peru “discovered” the potato (which had been cultivated by the natives for thousands of years). Around 1570, while Raleigh was at Oxford, the potato was introduced to Europe. Moreover, Raleigh calls the potato by its Spanish name, “patata”.
 

“Two faiths, two empires, two rulers – colliding in 1588. Papist Spain wants to bring down the heretic Elizabeth. Philip is building an armada but needs a rationale to attack. With covert intrigue, Spain sets a trap for the Queen and her principal secretary, Walsingham, using as a pawn Elizabeth’s cousin Mary Stuart, who’s under house arrest in the North. The trap springs, and the armada sets sail, to rendezvous with French ground forces and to attack. During these months, the Virgin Queen falls in love with Walter Raleigh, keeping him close to court and away from the sea and America. Is treachery or heroism at his heart? Does loneliness await her passionate majesty? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>”
