He was a SLAVE trader....damn people who doesn't read
@atanasiohernandez1450 Says:
Regarding Mansvelt, many sources claim that he was captured by the spanish after a counter attack on Santa Catalina, and executed in 1667,
@tyrone.webdev Says:
no such thing as West Indies in the West. West indies support to mean west India
@nicholasming5976 Says:
My earliest known ancestor James Myng was the captain of the vessel Henry Morgan served on in the anglo Spanish war. They were acting as privateers (condoned piracy) against the Spanish. At some point they were enlisted with the broader navy for a big battle. My ancestor was killed, shot in the throat by a pistol, there after the crew disbanded. That’s what a copy of the official documents that I saw said anyway. I guess my side is but a branch of that tree. The name changed for easier spelling/reading and my branch of the family landed in Bermuda in 1701.
@codycatron8623 Says:
Simon doesn't do these anymore nowadays. Wish he still did.
@LindaMerchant-bq2hp Says:
How many pieces of 12 gold doubloons did he profit off ??
@graffgustav6640 Says:
I am currently writing a term paper on Henry Morgan and wanted to ask if any of you could recommend some good secondary literature. Most of it is popular literature besides Exquemelin and Malthus. Thanks in advance :)
@robertblazer1773 Says:
The greatest Buccaneer in history is Derrick Brooks
@TEJAYheni Says:
I'm sorry. The greatest Buccaneer in history is Mr. Derrick Brooks.
@ROY-COLLEY Says:
Hi I live in Llanrumney in Cardiff. He wasn't born here .He was actually born a farm that was on the Estste of Tredegar house near Newport. But Llanrumney Hall was his yes..
@seandillon1359 Says:
I’d say Derrick brooks or Tom Brady personally
@PaulTheCyclist. Says:
I am sure I have read somewhere that Morgan's name is still mud to this day in Panama
@mynameisjoejeans Says:
Exquemelin was clearly just another buthurt Frenchman who resented serving under a Brit so said he used nuns as human shields
@jackbrigoli7452 Says:
You know you're a legendary Pirate when you have an entire brand of Rum named after you.
@stevendavis2122 Says:
You forgot to mention Morgan’s raid on a Spanish outpost called Gran Grenada,(1663).Aftersailing 500 miles across the Caribbean Sea, apparently, one of the 17th century’s most extraordinary smash-and-grabs. It’s also worth noting,that, this is how is the biggest empire the world has ever seen started🇬🇧
@erichurst7897 Says:
Supposedly, my family is distantly related to him. Though, seeing as how he was the Lt. Gov. of Jamaica during the Golden Age of Piracy, and was a "Privateer", there's probably a lot of families with that claim...
@AmbroseBoaBowie Says:
The fact I had a sit through for advertisements on a video about Piracy is absolutely disgusting. I hope your bank account gets plundered
Edit: 6, shame on you, sell out
@Pr0digyZRX Says:
I do enjoy plundering some booty lmfao
@Spacecookie- Says:
Llanrumney. Two 'L' at the start.
@lewisdye5627 Says:
my great great great x9 grandfather
@roywilkowski2326 Says:
Please do a video on William Dampier. Though he died at the height of the Pirate Golden Age, he was probably the most ironic and one of the most brilliant men to ever sail the seas.
@briandoss9232 Says:
Happy...ish... ending...
@danielnunez7424 Says:
I'm panamanian, the city was burnt by order of the Governor and the gold altar of the church was painted in brown to mask its gold and moved out of the city before the pirates arrived. Nowadays it sits in another church built in the second city mentioned in the video a few miles to the west.
@chelsiebain3952 Says:
I am literally related to this guy he’s one of my like 11th or 12th great grandfather!
@tastygravy6880 Says:
"Why is the rum always gone?"
Henry Morgan, maybe.
@Aundrich Says:
I'm curious about Henry's resting place, plantation home and secrete tunnel he had from his home to town.
@ianashby1449 Says:
Morgan was a true badass
@jadams736 Says:
Being a pirate is a prerequisite for being a politician, I wonder if he was kin to JP MORGAN,a modern day pirate.
@jackieroberts7895 Says:
welsh pirate 😁
@lavane26 Says:
I don't know if this is helpful at all, but the images used at the end to talk about the ruins of Panama and how it was never rebuilt are wrong. That is still Fuerte San Lorenzo in Colon, in the Atlantic side. The city of Panama (now called Panama Viejo, or Old Panama), were in the Pacific side. I just wonder why you didn't use actual images of Panama Viejo. Also, it has been confirmed now (in fact, a few years ago) that it was the governor of Panama who ordered the city be burned down rather than see it fall into the hands of Morgan.
@warrengeorgeanthonychen9481 Says:
Of course he used priests and nuns as shield for his men at the attack of port of Bello. Yeah a movie should be made about his life. Big block buster movie!!!
@rpk5250 Says:
Arrrgh great video matee
@Bilboisadog Says:
I'm a direct descendant 🏴☠️
@Linty Says:
I’m related to and named after Captain Morgan
@TanjainWonderland Says:
Pls do an episode about Anne Bonny and/or Mary Reed :D
@Hengel_Andrews Says:
17:44 those Parishes(Precincts) and alignment is very interesting! Gone are St. Georges, St. Davids and St. Johns
@garethb1968 Says:
Great story I live quite close to we’re he used to live
@louise-yo7kz Says:
Hi Ho and a bottle of tum
@taffyducks544 Says:
Boarded a British navy ship to fight in the Anglo-Spanish war. Does anyone not realise how stupid of a sentence that is? Seeing how the Welsh are the native British and they fought against most people the English did. So why the term Anglo?!!! The Welsh arent Anglos, neither are the Scots.
@Apocfetau Says:
Now that's what I call a watery grave.
@tannerlane9669 Says:
So the difference between a pirate and a privateer is the privateer became one by being the most dominant pirate 😂
@idleyesss Says:
I've been waiting for this one! I'm a Morgan from South Wales :)
@batchmotorsport Says:
I could go some spiced rum for some reason
@danicalifornia505 Says:
You should do a video on Abd el-Krim and the Rif war in North Africa.
@kaimijo Says:
My ancestor, what a dick xD
@TwoWholeWorms Says:
Oh mate, this video just informed me that there was a naval battle at Maracaibo, and anyone who knows anything about Maracaibo knows that it's literally a permanent lightning storm, and now all I can see in my head is a string of ships of the line from both sides overcast by the most epic constant lightning storm ever. Strewth...
@gamezob Says:
But where has the rum gone?
@chrism1190 Says:
Used nuns and priests as human shields you mean.
@elliotkamper Says:
Damn even the most successful pirate couldn’t escape of watery grave!
