Watch and learn from Master Storyteller and Historian Adrian Beckingham, whose research has unearthed the most remarkable of stories about slaves, pirates, a distant king - currently being wrapped as a major Hollywood film. History and legend remember many pirate stories and captains, but not the true story about the richest hoard in pirate history - until now. Follow the tale of people enslaved to mine diamonds for a distant king, who then turned pirate and seized the diamonds back. This story of slave emancipation and female empowerment not only inspires, but also takes a humorous look at many common misconceptions about traditional pirate life on the high seas. Laid buried for three centuries in odd pieces of parchment and random scraps of marine diaries, now these characters, their actions and dialogue are revealed for all to enjoy, in a film that is destined to become a truly treasured film classic. Listen in to this podcast session to learn a whole host of pirate facts you never knew before.
