Cut-throat pirate or well-bred diplomat?

Today we talk about Grace O’Malley/Gráinne Mhaol, legendary chieftain of the O’Mháille and O’Flaherty tribes.

We explore misconceptions about her appearance, demeanour, and lifestyle as well as the effect her death had during a massive turning point in Irish history as the last of the Irish nobles battled fiercely in the standoff to preserve the Gaelic way of life from extinction.

Enjoy!
