Born into a powerful seafaring clan in the 16th century, Grace defied the expectations of her time, rising to become the fierce Pirate Queen of the west coast of Ireland. From her bold childhood rebellion, to her strategic marriages, and her fearless battles against the English Crown, Grace’s life was anything but ordinary.
Join us as we explore her daring raids, her defiance of English rule, and her legendary meeting with Queen Elizabeth I—where two powerful women negotiated in Latin, and Grace refused to bow. Through rich storytelling and vivid scene-setting, we’ll take you through Grace’s epic life, filled with battles, betrayal, and political intrigue. Along the way, we’ll reveal how Grace O’Malley’s legacy has endured, becoming a symbol of Irish resistance and a feminist icon.
