Description
Granuaile, the Pirate Queen, was a woman of immense bravery and daring in 16th-century Ireland. She led an army and a fleet, trading and raiding to live by her own rules. Through letters to her son Tibbot, her story unfolds as she takes on powerful Norman lords, smuggles weapons for the Ulster Gaelic clans, and confronts Elizabeth Tudor herself. This account of Granuaile's life is set against the backdrop of Ireland's decline under English rule. The letters reveal a complex web of alliances, rivalries, and power struggles between the Gaelic chieftains and the Norman lords. It is a story of one woman's determination to protect her people and way of life. The Pirate Queen is a historical account that sheds light on a fascinating period in Irish history, featuring some of the great figures of the time, including Red Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh O'Neill.
