Best summed up by Irish historian and novelist Anne Chambers, O'Malley was&amp;nbsp;a fearless leader, by land and by sea, a political pragmatist and politician, a ruthless plunderer, a mercenary, a rebel, and above all, a woman who broke the mould and played a unique role in history. --- References for This Episode: (See our website below for all links and resources used for this episode) Grace O' Malley - Anne Chambers Grace O' Malley - Royal Museums Greenwich The Pirate Queen Who Ruled The Irish Sea - Gráinne Ní Mháille Grace O’Malley: The Biography of Ireland’s Pirate Queen 1530–1603 by Anne Chambers Where to Find Us:&amp;nbsp; Head to our website, learnaboutpod.com, to read the full episode notes and see a list of links and resources used to research this episode.
