Charles Vane: Defiant to the End

Will you do a video on ottoman pirates?

[@GoldandGunpowder]

I will cover other periods/areas of piracy when I feel done with Anglo-French Sea Rovers primarily active in the Caribbean between 1630-1730

[@radraider8852]

Blackbeard, the embodiment of piracy. Charles Vane, the defiant wild man. Hopefully, good’ old Bellamy will be next or near to join your videos 🤞🏻🏴‍☠️

[@raku3133]

Since you mentioned Bartholomew Roberts for a brief moment, I think it would be great it you made his biography, followed by another video about his ship, the Royal Fortune. Btw, you make great content and surely deserve more subs🙏🏻

[@GoldandGunpowder]

he had like 4 different ships called royal fortune lmao

[@thewanderinggrasshopper4792]

i like how accurate/inaccurate AC4 was. So much of this video is technically in the game, but muddled and interpreted in it's own way. It's interesting to now know in which way the puzzle pieces really fit

They left most of the interesting stuff out

I love black flag but the blowpipe always bugged me and there were only 2 good pirate outfits.

Don't give Ubisoft credit, they literally just jammed everything they needed to make a generic plot, in service to the gameplay.

Charles Vane, famous for having a badass voice almost everywhere he appears.

[@GoldandGunpowder]

this is true

[@radraider8852]

Personally my favorite has to be Ralph Ineson. He voiced Charles Vane in AC4 Black Flag.

[@nameynamename3758]

@@radraider8852 of the 2 vanes i was thinking about when writing this comment, he's the most vaneiest

[@alexrexaros9837]

Perhaps Charles Vane is the one who inspired the vision of pirates being revolutionaries. Conservative rebels, but rebels still. Clearly better than the prospecting Flying Gang. Oh and, if only he had BlackBeard's support, not only would the latter survive, but also we could have seen the rise of a potential Silver Age of Piracy.

[@scottdawson5739]

I liked this video a lot. I am the author of 'Dark Waters the True Story of Blackbeard'. I was wondering if you have an idea of how Ann Bonny escaped jail? Did someone bribe officials to get her out or did she simply escape? What happened to her after she got out of jail?

[@GoldandGunpowder]

no idea sadly

[@deansch6089]

What is the name of the painting at 5:50?

[@GoldandGunpowder]

[@derekdreke4990]

I feel like most of the Pirates would be steeped in lore and myths about themselves. Most would have probably done very very nasty things to show how crazy they where and spread those tails. It sure is unfortunate that they still didn't give a shit about the slaves. If it was me i definitely would have appreciated having more help or set them free. It is so sad the way the world treats one another the biggest thing about being on a ship to me and running the 🏴‍☠️ would be how everyone is equal !

Aye, I removed the cards in my more recent videos and have made the videos longer instead to not leave out any details.

[@cranstonsnorg]

Yes, YES! Longer videos please!! But only if they are informationally dense. There is nothing worse that long KZbin videos that are bloated with padding. But you already said it: the videos should be as long as they need to be. BTW it was a pleasure to hear Charles Vane fleshed out so properly here. His bullshit depiction on Black Sails was one of the main reasons I stopped watching that series full of impossibly pretty people and lowbrow writing.

Just a point of English. Hung until he turned blue. Not Hanged. Hanged is when the person dies. Hung is when they don't die. As in "Hung, Drawn and Quartered", or possibly when sentenced to be "Hung by the neck until dead!". Soz for being pedantic. I get bored pmsl. Loving all ya vids though.

@@GoldandGunpowder the pop up cards were/are actually great little factoids of high interest. The problem is this : How are we supposed to read this trivia while you are still narrating the story !? It makes no sense. We either have to pause the video or rewind it. If only the video had some sort of lull points then it would be proper to insert the pop ups, but idk how or where you would add such lull points or if they would detract from the video !! ( I guess it could be done the way tv does it by inserting them after or before commercials & then resuming the story ! )
