Hall of Fame: Ireland's Pirate Queen
Season 6
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Sathnam Sanghera blows the doors off the Hall of Fame today alongside his nominee, the Pirate Queen of Ireland, Grainne – or Grace – O'Malley.
Born in County Mayo when Henry VIII was on the throne of England, Grainne would command a fleet of ships, raid neighbouring clans, revenge the deaths of her loved ones and take on the English army. She would even meet with Queen Elizabeth to – in the best Jack Sparrow tradition – 'parley' with her opponent.
Grainne was pretty special and is a worthy addition to the Trapped History Hall of Fame – and its new protector too!
