I was brought here by a rant in Archer season 3 "space race pt.1" by Carol about Granne O'malley. You have earned a like & Sub.

Nice, I'm currently reading a book on the life of Granuaile. Fascinating figure an iconoclast for sure.

[@mokongx3m]

Coincidence, nice. Hope I didn't contradict anything in the book

[@lanahanbrian0]

@@mokongx3m So the book I'm reading is Ireland's Pirate Queen by Anne Chambers. Is that the one you read? P.S. Everything you said seemed to be on point. Quality as usual.

[@mokongx3m]

@@lanahanbrian0 oh I didn't read a book, I had some info I remembered from school years ago, plus when I took the video footage (last August) was on a boat tour of Clew Bay and the guide spoke about her during the tour which is what gave me the idea to use her a subject for this years video. And a bit of internet searching when I was trying to type up my script

[@lanahanbrian0]

@@mokongx3m Awesome, got it all stored in the memory bank. P.S. I was wondering but I'm glad your boat tour wasn't recent what with this pandemic going on.

[@Splarticus_Art]

Geez... I learned a lot. I did not know how much of an impact she had on history. From meeting Elizabeth to Being considered a symbol/Inspiration during the event in the early 20th century... Idk why my grandmother never told me about her. I would have loved to have known we had someone in our family line who was such an impact on History. If you are curious, my great grandmother was an O'malley before marrying into the Hailey Family. My grandmother was then born as a Hailey, Then married into the Goodwin Family. Then my mother was born as a Goodwin, then Married into the Hill family (The Welsh Hills, not the english). Then she had me. I never knew about my family tree because I never asked, but I should have. I am curious who else is in the family tree...
