Hanging with History
30. Francis Drake; Elizabethan Era Part 2, Pirates and Witches
Show Notes

It takes a few minutes to get to pirates, but the descriptions of Drakes voyages are good.
A Quokka episode.  The first of 3 pirate episodes.  The greatest of Elizabeth’s Sea Dogs was Francis Drake, we cover two of his voyages this episode.  But what was Francis Drake really?  Will you figure it out before Camie does?  We also cover witch burning in England and ask why was it so mild compared to on the continent.  And what does it signify?  Does it help explain the Miracle?  And a little Australian history also.
