On 29 October 1618, explorer and adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded at the Palace of Westminster, on the orders of King James I.
Accused of deliberately inciting war between
England and Spain during one of his expeditions, on the day of his execution he was reported to have been suffering from from ague, or fever.
He was allowed to examine the executioner's axe, musing: "This is a sharp Medicine, but it is a Physician for all diseases and miseries". His last words were later uttered to the hesitant executioner: "What dost thou fear? Strike, man, strike!"
