The Welsh Bucanneer (Pt 1)

Season: 7 Episode: 8

He was a Welsh farm boy who rose to become the terror of the Spanish Main and later a knight of England. Henry Morgan carved his name into history through daring raids, brutal battles, and cunning strategy, from the fevered frontiers of Jamaica to the burning streets of Panama, blurring the line between pirate and patriot, and leaving a legacy that endures today, from history books to bottles of rum.
