Happy post-St. Patrick’s Day! Anne Chambers is the world’s leading expert on Ireland’s Pirate Queen, Grace O’Malley.
We’ll dig into how and why she started researching Grace’s life. Especially what part Grace O’Malley plays in Irish culture and how Anne has helped them color in the lines. We also discuss why “pirate” may not be the most accurate descriptor for Grace O’Malley.
Check out Anne’s books and help support the show too!
Be sure to also visit the MacKay Pirate Family’s crowdfunding page to help them beat that nastiest enemy of all, cancer. http://www.underthecrossbones.com/mackay
