About this listen

A monastic life, is a simple life. Daily prayer. Quiet contemplation. A pursuit of inner peace over worldly excitements.

A pirate’s life on the other hand, is the exact opposite. Daily turmoil upon the high seas. Fiercely plotting deadly revenge. A pursuit of fame, fortune and all the pleasures of the world.

This is the tale of a man who traded one life for another, with a bit of black magic thrown in for the hell of it…

For this months episode of the Cloak and Dagger Podcast we are joined by a great friend of the podcast, Charlie Denton, who has brought us an extraordinary tale of a monk of questionable piety, sailing his way into the middle of a war between France and England.
