Grace O’Malley, Pirate Queen of Ireland (Full Episode) | Pirates: Behind the Legends | Nat Geo

Understand, what I see here is true, History worldwide has been influenced in its stories and records, by the Monarchs, Emperors, Dictators, and to varied degrees the Roman based Christian/Catholic Church. Thus, the History Stories that reached the latter 20th Century and the same that persist to date in this 21st Century are not Authentic History.

None influenced more than that of Ireland. Around the time of Henry VIII and his daughter, Queen Elizabeth, began an effort to erase the true History, the Ancient History and the History that led to the then, current era of Henry VIII was written by various English Authors and Historians to establish an Ideology that would serve their agenda to rule over Ireland. To influence an idea that the Irish were unworthy barbarians, uneducated, untrained in Social skills, and a people that lived in filth, vulgar in their standards, and an ignorant people .

All resistance to the unethical plans of fear based efforts to gain agreements to sign Loyalty to the English Crown, resulted in the Propaganda Campaigns to influence the Europeans that the English were justified in their force over Ireland.

Similar efforts took place in any country that resisted control by the English Crown. Wealth gain under Elizabeth’s “Privateers” (Pirates), from the Spanish Ships, occasional French vessels, and various sips on the Mediterranean, gave Elizabeth the funding to expand control in building what came to be the British Empire.

Ireland was the Original “Seat of Power”. It remains known as the Seat of Higher Education, where the European Elite sent their sons for University Studies.

One must understand, only those areas with the achievement of Structure, Social and Economic Stability, measures of Defense and Security, could have then had the strength, resources, planning, and building, necessary to establish a renowned Education Program of University status. These come when there is strength, established cities, and Social systems and standards that then give the opportunity to focus on Education, the Arts, and the Religious establishments.

Ireland was already practicing Gaelic Christianity. (Not Celtic, but Gaelic). Celtic as defined by Academia is Southern Germanics, which spread through the European Germanic Groups.

The Romans, Vikings, Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, and Normans were All Germanics. The Irish, Welsh, and Britons, (early People of England) were primarily of Basque Origin. (Proven by DNA studies).

Today’s British DNA demonstrates that the male British are (“Less than 2% original Briton), the female continued with AdMix. At some point there was an obvious ethnic cleansing of the Male population, including the male children and infants.

With these points made clear, I suggest the subject of this video be understood as “Mainstream Academic ” myth. There exists an event, but the story has been highly fictionalized over time, “intentionally”.

The Truths are emerging as young Academics are seeking to rectify what the past Rulers wrote to serve their Agendas. Old books, journals, and persistent”Authentic Academics” are bringing these subjects to surface.

This isn’t very accurate.

For one thing, Ireland was far less patriarchal than the rest of Europe at this time.

A woman’s leadership was supported by legal rights that provided her with a level of autonomy unusual for the period:

Property Ownership: Women could own and manage their own land and wealth. In marriage, neither spouse could make a contract without the other’s consent.

Right to Divorce: Women could initiate divorce and were legally entitled to reclaim their original property and dowry.

Legal Standing: Unlike many neighbouring cultures where women were considered “property,” Irish women under Brehon Law were recognised as active legal agents.

So, while you wouldn’t typically find a woman as the taoiseach leading a clan into battle, you would find them ruling as heads of community, abbesses, diplomats, judges, doctors, poets, negotiators and highly respected professionals.
