great voice, just a bit more practice needed to speak foreign names 🙂
@ImpartiallySpeaking Says:
The irony being that he had it all only to throw it all away. What an idiot!
@laynekidd Says:
we did an ancestry tree and i’m related to him my last name is kidd as well and you can see the resemblance of him in my brother 😭🙏
@bconni2 Says:
interestingly enough, the earliest pirates were renegade Catholic mariners mostly from Portugal, Spain & France.
the English / British joined the party much later, yet they've done the best job at monopolizing and commercializing their pirate stories over everyone else.
@MatthewTheWolf2029 Says:
My introduction to William Kidd was "Captain Kidd" from the lesser known "World Heroes" fighting game series. But its fascinating and intriguing to learn the true story behind the name.

That picture they keep showing is not how William Kidd looked like
@amymcduffee6521 Says:
I just found out that William Kidd is my 8th great grand father, and I've been trying to dig up everything I can on him. This was perfect!
@GoofyGoober7582 Says:
I was going to ask for a documentary on him.
You’ve surely brought me great joy, good sir! All the thanks to you and the team. You all are people of gallant quality.

@abrahammorrison6374 Says:
There is a Book, Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean. Most of these Jewish pirates preyed on Spanish ships as payback for the Spanish Inquisition.
@ericmason349 Says:
8:20 Romulan ?
@Justin_North Says:
I stopped watching this halfway through, turned on subtitles and backtracked just to make sure I heard this correctly. "French, Spanish, Dutch, Romulan it didn't really matter". I don't remember the episode of Star Trek where a Bird of Prey was attacked by pirates but now I want to see it more than anything.

@MarkClinton75 Says:
Will you please do one of these on John Adams?
@96special Says:
The Philips gang committed the last great American train robbery. I'm descended from them and my grandpa can talk about it a little bit.
@beyondleftfield4470 Says:
Kidd's problem was that he didn't politic with those crews, by securing blood oaths of alliance "as needed" and for this, the crews demanding piracy would be given a non-flagship vessel, and share new information with trusted persons at particular ports and pubs. He could have easily done this and walked several English ships into a tangled web where one crew would pretend to lay seige on a town just close enough to a major port that any big guns could and would mobilize, but just far enough that their absence would provide the time to sack their larger port and capture a governor. Yes, he could have done much better than a mere commission of a privately built ship it seems.

@estietrixie6905 Says:
Sir Nicholas Winton?
I don't know if you read these or not, but I found this man Sir Nicholas Winton. It is a tragically beautiful story, I know that you are use to presenting the horrors of the Holocaust, but I think it could be interesting for everyone to see how the actions of one person saved so many lives and he kept it a secret for so long.
Thank you Simon, love your channels and keep up the great work. 🙃
@thatoneguy4713 Says:
