The second part of the video is dedicated to numerous figures of the Golden Age of Piracy. You’ll find out why Captain Morgan pursued other pirates by the end of his life, why Port-Royal disappeared and how Tortuga became a pirate state. We’ll also touch upon female pirates, the real Barbarossa, the Chinese pirate fleet and, finally, modern pirates, who terrorize the seas and coasts in some corners of the world up to this day.

$Viking Dublin: How the Slave Trade Paid for War Viking Dublin was never just a fortress of conquerors. It grew into one of the largest slave markets in the North Atlantic, and that trade paid for the fleets and armies that held Ireland in fear for two centuries. Irish, Scots, and English captives were sold here into slavery, while silver from the Arab Caliphates and weapons from the Rhineland flowed through the port the Vikings founded at the mouth of the Liffey in 840. Slaving fed the wars, and the wars delivered fresh captives. This economy turned the Uí Ímar dynasty into a power that ruled from Dublin all the way to York. But the Vikings made one fatal mistake. They forced a fractured Ireland to unite for the first time. Máel Sechnaill II stormed Dublin and freed its slaves, then Brian Boru gathered the island under a single crown and set out to break the kingdom of the slave traders. At Clontarf in 1014 the Irish shattered the Viking army, yet Brian paid for that victory with his own life, and the lives of his son and grandson. The island he had united fell apart again within days. The Scandinavians who survived, Ireland defeated a second time, no longer by the sword but by culture, dissolving them into the Gaelic world. If Brian Borus victory at Clontarf was worth the crown he lost, tell us in the comments. And which Viking or medieval story should the map cover next? Drop it below.
