- From The Female Pirate Series - A fearless leader, astute political tactician and fierce fighter, Grace refused to bow to social or religious convention. She ruthlessly avenged the murders of her husband and a son, 'dismissed' her second husband and gave birth to her youngest son as Turkish pirates attacked her ship. Grace’s rebellious actions over the years made her a mortal enemy of the heavy-handed British governor, Sir Richard Bingham. When Bingham arrested Grace’s sons, the pirate queen boldly sailed up the Thames and negotiated a truce with Elizabeth I, securing freedom for her boys and a pension for herself. |
