Captain William Kidd - From Privateer to Pirate Hunter to Pirate

You should consider doing a video on Button Gwinnett.

Mabey make a video About Ante Palecić the croatian dictator

Sir Nicholas Winton?
I don't know if you read these or not, but I found this man Sir Nicholas Winton. It is a tragically beautiful story, I know that you are use to presenting the horrors of the Holocaust, but I think it could be interesting for everyone to see how the actions of one person saved so many lives and he kept it a secret for so long.
Thank you Simon, love your channels and keep up the great work. 🙃

what was the name of the video where a man was going around the us in the mid 1920-1940s ish killing mostly men and giving the wintesses who were in the car with the victim notes, the witness was usually a mistress of the husband. any help would be awesome

Kidd's problem was that he didn't politic with those crews, by securing blood oaths of alliance "as needed" and for this, the crews demanding piracy would be given a non-flagship vessel, and share new information with trusted persons at particular ports and pubs. He could have easily done this and walked several English ships into a tangled web where one crew would pretend to lay seige on a town just close enough to a major port that any big guns could and would mobilize, but just far enough that their absence would provide the time to sack their larger port and capture a governor. Yes, he could have done much better than a mere commission of a privately built ship it seems.

The Philips gang committed the last great American train robbery. I'm descended from them and my grandpa can talk about it a little bit.

Will you please do one of these on John Adams?

Can someone explain why the Biographics vote page comes up as 404? Should I just suggest a next video in the comments here?

I’d love it one day for you to do Mackenzie King: the Canadian PM during ww2

Fantastic

Please do a video on charles vane

I stopped watching this halfway through, turned on subtitles and backtracked just to make sure I heard this correctly. "French, Spanish, Dutch, Romulan it didn't really matter". I don't remember the episode of Star Trek where a Bird of Prey was attacked by pirates but now I want to see it more than anything.

There is a Book, Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean. Most of these Jewish pirates preyed on Spanish ships as payback for the Spanish Inquisition.

Captain William Kidd: From Pirate to Pirate to Pirate.

Love the pirate biographics. Please do Edward Low next. He went too far even by pirate standards

YESSSSSS I literally asked if you covered William Kidd. And look, you did !!!

Dudes end sounds like a verse from dumb ways to die.

I was going to ask for a documentary on him.

You’ve surely brought me great joy, good sir! All the thanks to you and the team. You all are people of gallant quality.

I just found out that William Kidd is my 8th great grand father, and I've been trying to dig up everything I can on him. This was perfect!

That picture they keep showing is not how William Kidd looked like

My introduction to William Kidd was "Captain Kidd" from the lesser known "World Heroes" fighting game series. But its fascinating and intriguing to learn the true story behind the name.

interestingly enough, the earliest pirates were renegade Catholic mariners mostly from Portugal, Spain & France.
the English / British joined the party much later, yet they've done the best job at monopolizing and commercializing their pirate stories over everyone else.

we did an ancestry tree and i’m related to him my last name is kidd as well and you can see the resemblance of him in my brother 😭🙏

The irony being that he had it all only to throw it all away. What an idiot!

great voice, just a bit more practice needed to speak foreign names 🙂
