Well, I know he was a pirate and he needed economic help to travel to America, because of the territories that he found. That's why he went with the queen but they had a really good connection. I think he's important as a symbol because he showed Elizabeth things that she never imagined and he made her feel alive.
"Sir Walter Raleigh's role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada was relatively minor. The role of Sir Francis Drake, one of the key figures in the victory, is downplayed. In some episodes, such as the confrontation with the Spanish ambassador, Drake's historical actions are attributed to Raleigh. Similarly, Robert Dudley, 1st earl of Leicester, was lieutenant general at the armada crisis. His role at Tilbury camp is performed by Raleigh in the film, while Dudley is absent from the screen."
Ussually in these fiction-historical movies are some episodes that respect the history, and some others which are part of the "Dramatic License". It's important to emphasize this is NOT a documentary, so, many topics, places and situations could be fictitius or not correctly fit to the official history, just for dramatic reasons
