      I'm certain that the one what created the fake Mithrae the Princess Bride would love to see you pollute his intention by putting the dread pirate before any other pirate. Eye am the dreaded pirate Rodgers. Eye am Death what rises from the sea to walk on land. I come ,Death , I Conqueor for Love of my Flower, what is the Rose. You get me yet,I keep telling you to see Truth, and what is Truth, never a question. Eye Be The Giant. Am Here, He-Re. eL..U, Cee I Fre. Are you feeling it yet? Concept is prison. The puzzle box. No Theisim. No psyche. Conception, used as models for inception. Media-ites hermetic priesthood didn't believe in mind. We are Sound, immersed in vessels. What u" hear" is sound moving at faster than light speeds. You are entangled. In a physical form. Last hour,I Whstlr. No idols. You put your name in face on things. For fame. Vanity. For whom? Tell me. Eye am the Harvest hand. The feather. You are on a scale. Then to now. To whom are you Behooven? Who's your Lord. If you can't tell me that the only one that you are bound to is the Balance between life and death, you already lost. Payment welcome to the Underworld. She told you all when eye came, the Tower. Eye told you all in Babylon, Atomic. Atom, IC. Then, I saw the Stone. And now the kine can too.

    He may not be known as "The Pirate King", but I think a man who can go from hostage to Captain within 6 weeks, take 400 ships and make navies around the world think he's invincible is worthy of the title.

    Thomas Jackson, better known as Stonewall
    General William T. Sherman, who I really couldnt say anything about without someone getting pissed
    Confederate President Jefferson Davies
    Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who commanded the first African-American Regiment in the Civil War
    Ulysses S. Grant, who needs no introduction
    Etc.

    Bravo! I adore your channel, especially when you do bios of pirate-era figures. Making a historical boardgame about the age of piracy, I found it challenging to convey the topic. I've got some great notions and good ideas for the early-stage prototypes, but I'm still out at sea with no shore in sight. I hope you write biographies of some of the Spanish governors who dealt with piracy at the time, particularly one with a humorous Alonso de Sotomayor against Francis Drake incident or Blas de Lezo against Edward Vernon.

    The musician thing makes perfect sense. If you live on a cramped ship with people playing and composing random stuff all week long, it would be very nice to have a day with complete silence in order to retain sanity.

    Didn't feel like pronouncing Casnewydd Bach? Roberts' elevation by Howell Davis is explained by the fact that they were the only Welsh Speakers (likely first language) on board, Davis being able to communicate with him in confidence, in addition to his skills as a navigator.

    My dad's dad's side of my family is related to Bart, he's the reason they left Wales and moved to Ireland in the 1700s. Apparently family members of Bart could be arrested just for being related to him. Eventually they made it to New York and spread around North America until my grandpa was born in British Columbia in 1928.

    I didn't want to re-edit my comment, so I wanted to suggest if you actually have any more time in your busy schedule to do another show like biographics, but for fictional characters, or mythological people. Like you did with Sherlock Holmes. Maybe do Bruce Wayne/Batman, Logan/Wolverine, Hercules, etc. Anyone else like this idea?

      I think it would be less educational. If anything a biographics on Bob Kane Bill Finger or Jack Kirby.
      I listen to plenty of comic book podcast and those channel handle those properties just as well as Simon handles real history.

    I would love to see a Biographics on Geroge Lincoln Rockwell. I believe it's appropriate given the current political climate in the United States. Not many people know about him despite a large amount of info is out there about him. I feel it's good to learn from history no matter who the subject is and make our soon to be history better.

    I was always told that we are his descendants. Each generation of men in my family has kept the name John Roberts as a tradition to keep the name alive.
    I didn't know if it was true but I met some of my extended family members who concured they heard the same.

    I think the most successful pirate ever might have been Peter Easton. His career lasted over 10 years, during which he recruited nearly 1500 men for his fleet, and he finally retired with a huge hoard (some accounts say as much as 2 million pounds, but who knows?), and with the title of marquis.

    While we are on the subject of pirates I think women ought to be mentioned as well.
    What ab't highlighting the stories of, ANNE BONNIE, and MARY REED? I think one was imprisoned or (later) hung for piracy. Both were imprisoned and put to trial for their crimes and debauchery while on the high seas. One of the women gained a lucky reprieve (as she was pregnant at the time of her imprisonment) when she was bailed out by a rich relative never to be seen or heard from again. This owed in part to the 'promise' of abandoning the piracy life in exchange for, the agreement of (quiet) reintegration back into respectable society. Thanks for the consideration.
