Raleigh returned to England, where King James ordered him to be beheaded for, disobeying orders to avoid conflict with the Spanish.

What people thought Because of the things that he did people supposed that there would be a Golden Kingdom and a city or even country where gold was abundant. This kingdom was known to the natives as Manoa or Omoa. Over the years a number of explorers, looters, and invaders attempted to discover El Dorado. The myth probably motivated a lot of the invasions on the native cities by greedy Europeans.

"De Guiana" Guiana, whose rich feet are mines of gold, Whose forehead knocks against the roof of stars, Stands on her tiptoes at fair England looking, Kissing her hand, bowing her mighty breast, And every sign of submission making, To be her sister and the daughter, both, Of our most sacred maid, whose bareness Is the true fruit of virtue, that may get, Bear and bring forth anew in all perfection, What heretofore savage corruption held In barbarous chaos.
