In this episode, Ellie talks about someone who fits perfectly in our 'awesome women of history' series: Grace O'Malley, the Pirate Queen of Ireland. Best summed up by Irish historian and novelist Anne Chambers, O'Malley was a fearless leader, by land and by sea, a political pragmatist and politician, a ruthless plunderer, a mercenary, a rebel, and above all, a woman who broke the mould and played a unique role in history. --- References for This Episode: (See our website below for all links and resources used for this episode) Grace O' Malley - Anne Chambers Grace O' Malley - Royal Museums Greenwich The Pirate Queen Who Ruled The Irish Sea - Gráinne Ní Mháille Grace O'Malley: The Biography of Ireland's Pirate Queen 1530–1603 by Anne Chambers Where to Find Us: Head to our website, learnaboutpod.com, to read the full episode notes and see a list of links and resources used to research this episode.

Anne Chambers talks to Myles about Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, and his reforming Governorship of Jamaica.
Her story was long consigned to legend and fantasy. An Irish pirate queen who commanded a fleet of ships from Spain to Scotland…in the 1500s?! Not likely. But in the 1990s, historian Anne Chambers found a trove of documents in a dusty old chest at Westport House, and the tales of Grace O'Malley were proven to be marvelously, fantastically, true.

Grace O'Malley or Granuaile is an iconic name in Irish history. Born in 1530, she emerged as a powerful leader in the West of Ireland in ruthless and violent era as the Tudor reconquest of the Island was in full swing. Grace is often called a pirate queen, a chieftain or even in some tellings a queen of the west. In this episode I interview her biographer Anne Chambers about the real woman and her remarkable life. Anne's book 'Grace O'Malley Ireland's Pirate Queen' is available at her website http://www.graceomalley.com/.Check out the pin of grace in the shop https://irishhistory.bigcartel.com/product/grace-o-malley-pin Support the showPatreon: https://patreon.com/irishpodcastAcast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Above all else, she emerges as a woman who broke the mold and thereby played a unique role in history" We are lucky enough to be joined by Tabitha Birch, who keeps the legend of this Pirate Queen alive by taking on the role in historical reenactments'!!

On this episode of the Irish History Show we were joined by Anne Chambers to discuss her book, The Great Leviathan, The life of Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, 1788 - 1845. His story moves from Westport House in county Mayo to Eton, into the staid family world of King George III at Windsor Castle; through wild student days at Cambridge, on to Regency London and the scandalous world of celebrity, gambling clubs, bawd houses and theatres, to the sophisticated salons of Paris. Horse racing at Newmarket and the Curragh (he was a founder member of the Irish Turf Club) treasure-seeking with his college friend Lord Byron in Greece and Turkey, some of his ‘finds' are on view in the British museum. A sensational trial at the Old Bailey in 1812 led to his imprisonment in Newgate goal. There is a hint of double-espionage about his time at the court of Joachim Murat, King of Naples and with Napoleon Bonaparte on the island of Elba, while his sleuthing in Italy on behalf of the ‘prince of pleasure' George IV, (godfather to his eldest son) on the King's equally debauched consort, Caroline, is in the realm of high comedy. A passionate advocate of Catholic Emancipation, multi-denominational educationand reform of the nefarious legal system, he did his best to alleviate the desperate circumstances of his numerous tenants, aggravated by a rapid rise in population and by the ‘curse of sub-division'. He established manufacturing outlets in Westport as an alternative to the over dependence on land and encouraged trade, mining, fishingand kelp harvesting. As famine engulfed the west in 1831 he imported food, built a hospital and raised money for relief and public works. In 1834 Sligo was appointed Governor General of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. As owner of two plantations, Kelly's and Cocoa Walk, which he inherited from his grandmother, Elizabeth Kelly, daughter of Galway-born Denis Kelly, former Chief Justice of Jamaica, the planters expected the new governor to be on their side.Sligo's stated objective on his arrival on the island ‘to establish a social system absolved forever from the reproach of slavery' however, set them on a bitter collision course.Sligo found slavery personally abhorrent. From the flogging of field workers with the dreaded cart-whip, branding with hot iron, to the whipping of female slaves, ‘I call on you to put an end to conduct so repugnant to humanity' he ordered the Jamaican House of Assembly. To restrain the worse excesses he personally monitored the activities of the sixty special magistrates appointed to investigate charges of brutality in the 900 plantations throughout the island. Much to the derision of their masters ‘he [Sligo] gave a patient hearing to the poorest Negro who might carry his grievance to Government House'.He advocated the building of schools for the black population, two of which he built at his own cost on his property. He was the first plantation owner to initiate a wage system for black workers and later, after emancipation in 1838, to divide his lands into farms leased to the former slaves. The Planter-dominated Assembly accused Sligo of ‘interpreting the law in favour of the negro' and, as he wrote, ‘set out to make Jamaica too hot to hold me.' They withdrew his salary and started a campaign of vilification against him in the Jamaican and British press which, backed by powerful vested commercial interests, resulted in his removal from office in September 1836.
To Hell, to Connacht or to the high seas. This week we dissect the folklore from fiction as we discuss the life of legendary pirate Queen of Connacht, Granuaile in part two of our pirate special. *Correction: In this episode Shaunna mistakenly says Grace O'Malley lives until the age of 93 when in fact she lived to 73, (which is still pretty astonishing considering the life she lived).

Episode 29: A Most Notorious Woman. In this episode we speak with author and biographer Anne Chambers. Her book “Grace O’Malley: The Biography of Ireland’s Pirate Queen 1530-1603” is now celebrating its 40th anniversary. We also talk to award-winning actress and Smithsonian scholar Mary Ann Jung about her entertaining performance as Grace O’Malley and other iconic women that inspire a love of history, drama and literature in classrooms and beyond. Finally, writer Susan Thorton Hobby, a board member of HoCoPoLitSo (Howard County Poetry & Literature Society) and contributing editor of the Little Patuxent Review, reads a poem from Anne Chambers’ book and discusses the local literary scene.
Anne Chambers is a CEO, an entrepreneur and an activist. She teaches us that you can be an activist by activating a business. She has activated many businesses like Red212, an advertising and marketing business, a food business called Ma-Me and now Certifiably, a business that connects certified companies for purpose-driven purchasing. She shines a new light on how to look at failure. It’s about the life cycle of a project; and the start of something new. And the importance of shepherding an idea. She said, don’t worry about how it’s going to happen, just focus that it will happen.
Anne Chambers talks about her recently republished book 'Grace O’Malley: The Biography of Ireland’s Pirate Queen 1530 – 1603'.

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.
