Henry Every: The King of Pirates
Рет қаралды 742,333
3 жыл бұрынMost pirates catch a big score before being caught themselves. During the Golden Age of Piracy, most pirates met their fate at the end of a rope or the bottom of the sea.
Today, we tell you about the exception. This is story of Henry Every: the pirate who robbed more than $500,000 in riches and got away with it.

Henry Every isn't the only pirate who got away with piracy and enjoyed his plunder, there was a Scottish Pirate named Ruari the Turbulent also known as the last of the Vikings who decorated his castle with the loot that he stolen from English merchant ship's, French and Spanish treasure ship's etc. No nationality was safe from him and the MacNeil of Barra clan even after he was pardoned from king James the 6th of Scotland he still committed piracy till the day he peacefully died at old age. Back in those days there was poor agricultural in the Scottish islands which led to the MacNeils of Barra to commit piracy for a income.

Love all your channels Simon, and all the people that work with you of course. Just wanted to suggest a biography. Shaka Zulu has a great story I think, I've heard more then once that his style of fighting revolutionized tribal warfare at the time. I remember a story about an assault on a strong point on a rocky out crop. Shaka and his warriors, allegedly lol, climbed the cliff in silence to reach the camp by surprise. Even remaining silent if they fell to their deaths in order to remain hidden. Just a suggestion, Id love to know the truth behind the stories. You guys are great at that. Thanks for all your work, I'm in Australia but Prague has always been a place I wanted to visit. For me its the fact it was one of the few cities not bombed to oblivion in WW2 so the architecture is still, mostly, original.

I always liked the story about Henry Avery. One big score, that would set you for life and if the story is to be believed, he succeeded in that. As thus, escaped the noose and becomed legend.

In addition to being distracting, it's also completely unnecessary. It's like having someone run into a classroom playing a musical instrument while the instructor is trying to speak.
