Manage episode 509207467 series 3557904
Today on Murderhobos, Captain Henry Morgan: a Jamacian planter, freebooter, and king of the so-called bretheren of the coast, whose brutal raids on Spanish colonies led to his knighthood and his position as Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. He was by fortune or chance tied to Jamaica at a critical time in its history, and was in many ways the architect of western colonialism in the Carribean. Plus they named a rum after him.
