Re: Random Question of the day

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, so these two are possibly more lurid than laudable, but they had their good points, and you said favourite historical figures:

Grace O' Malley/Gráinne Ní Mháille, aka Granuaile, Sea Queen of Connacht, 1530-1603. Chieftain, trader, leader, fighter, pirate, rebel. Personally met with Queen Elizabeth I once to conduct negotiations (in Latin, because she didn't speak English and Elizabeth didn't speak Irish). Fierce lady pirates are always a win. (Incidentally, one of the other famous pirate ladies, Anne Bonny, was also Irish. Island nations are good for that kind of thing, apparently).

Colonel Thomas Blood, 1618-1680, despite him being a notorious scoundrel and hothead who tried to kidnap and murder the Duke of Ormonde twice, because he also tried to steal the English Crown Jewels, was caught in the attempt, bluffed his way before King Charles, and somehow managed to emerge from the meeting not only a free man but with a reward of land in Ireland. I just find that level of ballsiness amazing.
