Psycho Pirate - François l'Olonnais 1668

Pirate, Cannibal, Bastard!!
Tearing the heart out of the Spanish Main with the 17th century's most violently unhinged buccaneer - François l'Olonnais.
It's a grisly tale of insane brutality, comedic beheading and poetic justice.

• Why did l'Olonnais hate the Spanish?
• Why would he have made a bad optician?
• What's the difference between a pirate and a privateer?
• What did his enemies do rather than be captured by him?

The answers to all these questions and more can be found in episode 27 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.

 A heartless privateer who terrorised the Caribbean during The Golden Age of Piracy...the bloodthirsty scourge of the Spanish navy. This is not Jack Sparrow!!
Sign up for a voyage of piracy, plunder, torture, and historical true crime from Tortuga to  Hispaniola with one of maritime history's most infamous pirates.
