ReplyDeleteNey was definitely not himself in his last campaign; there was a price to be paid for being 'the bravest of the brave'. And that was an interesting article about pirates. I was surprised to read years ago that the 'golden age' of the pirate was much earlier than I thought, my thoughts probably influenced by "Treasure Island". Like mercenaries, pirtaes were much more disciplined than is commonly believed.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the chess game at the top...
