Pirates: Behind the Legends

Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen of Ireland. Born to a seafaring family, O'Malley defied gender conventions to become the most feared and respected leader of both the land and the sea. Using marriage to wrangle her political position and securing lands through a meeting with Queen Elizabeth, O’Malley’s rise from wanted pirate to Chieftain is won through a warrior’s sword and a woman’s grit.
