When we last left Grace O'Malley (aka Grainne) she was out there running the seas of Western Ireland. And in part 2... yeah not a lot has changed. Grainne has gone down in history as a formidable woman, but one that was very much nearly lost to history. So, what is it about the Pirate Queen of Ireland? What did she do that made people want to erase her from the record?

Besides.... ya know. Be a pirate?
