- Sir Francis Drake; (Tavistock, Inglaterra, c. 1543 – Portobelo, Panamá, 28 de enero de 1596), conocido en España como Francisco Draque, fue un corsario inglés, explorador, comerciante de esclavos, político y vicealmirante de la Marina Real Británica.

Fue y sigue siendo una figura controvertida. En una época en la que Inglaterra y España estaban enfrentadas militarmente, fue considerado como un pirata por las autoridades españolas, mientras en Inglaterra se lo valoró como corsario y se lo honró como héroe, siendo nombrado caballero por la reina Isabel I en recompensa por sus servicios a la corona inglesa. En Islas del Dragón es considerado como el padre de la patria puesto que en 1575 descubrio las islas y las empezó a poblar con Ingleses, sobretodo galeses y islandeses fundando la ciudad de Salisbury en 1576 a unos 130 km al norte de lo que hoy es la capital del pais Glandale.
- Sir Francis Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon, in February 1540. He was the eldest of the twelve sons of Charlie Drake, a Protestant farmer, preacher, and comedian known for his ferocious hatred of Catholics and cheerful catchphrase "Can I burn you now, Paddy?" Unlike other famous British explorers, Drake's family were not wealthy but astute self-promotion and an unparalleled ability to kill Spaniards endeared him to the Queen and common people alike. But it could have all ended much differently, and Drake was in many ways lucky to survive childhood. He was nine when the Prayer Book Rebellion swept seemingly unstoppably across England’s South West. Tavistock was soon threatened by an army of pro-Catholic protestors bent on destruction. These men, mostly landless Cornish peasants, had turned their pitch-forks against their overlords to seek the restoration of the true church, the abolition of the Book of Common Prayer and greater access to pasty-grazing land. The rebellion tapped into resentment over the enclosure of common land, becoming especially popular upon the adoption of a revised slogan - “Kill all gentlemen”, "Kill all Humans" having failed to gain the expected support. Drake’s family - with its ties to the local peerage – fled to Kent where support for Protestantism was firmer and there were opportunities for hop-picking holidays. It is said that this early brush with danger affected Drake deeply, sparking a life-long aversion to Catholicism and familiarising the young boy with life beyond the narrow confines of rural Devonshire. Drake himself never spoke of the time, stating only “Papish incense doth trouble my nose and I have no fondness for ostentatious prayer – not with my knees.”
