    I think "Irish pirate metal" is the greatest combination of words I've ever heard.

  • @codofwisdom
    @codofwisdom 9 років тому +1984

    An example of how badass Grainne was:
    Grainne once met the Queen of England, Elizabeth the First, in Greenwich Palace.
    She was INVITED. A woman, a known Pirate, invited by the Queen of a land which had occupied Grainne's country for centuries. Most importantly, she was able to leave.

      Dara McMahon she also NEVER bowed, or showed any kind subserviantce to the queen, she spoke to queen Elizabeth as equals.
      she also threw a handkerchief of a nobleman into a fire after she used it, which essentially insulted everyone in the room.

      To be fair, I don't think that was an intended insult. Aren't Irish and English cultures slightly different at the time?

    • @codofwisdom
      @codofwisdom 8 років тому +210

      Aligor Zeimet At the time, Ireland was a colony of England. Regardless of cultures, she knew what she was doing.
      Apparently she did explain the handkerchief thing though, so that might have been a clash of cultures.

      I would watch it. Knowing that it would likely be a blend of piracy during the age of queen elizabeth 1, Irish rebellions, and likely some fey shenanigans mixed in. Because she is already a folkloric figure, why not have her clashing with man, beast, and fey alike.

    Daughter of the dún
    Terror of the west
    Sailed the coasts of Ireland
    With O'Malley on her crest
    Sailors on the blue
    Shakin' in their cots
    Feelin' the foreboding of
    The terror that she wrought
    Hup the hull and away we go
    Stock the galley o'gold
    Whack the divil the gales he blow
    We'll batter him up in the hold
    Dance along on the waterline
    Speed us over the waves
    Back to back on the borderlines
    To never shut up & behave
    Gráinne Mhaol
    Queen of the pirates
    She set sail
    On the raging sea
    Gráinne Mhaol
    The gleam of the Irish
    Spun her tales
    On the ocean free
    Never to be caught
    Tangled on the ropes
    Hacked away the lengthy locks
    In order to elope
    She would lose no fight
    She would take no shite
    Stole the noble offspring
    In the middle of the night
    Hup the hull and away we go
    Stock the galley o'gold
    Whack the divil the gales he blow
    We'll batter him up in the hold
    Dance along on the waterline
    Speed us over the waves
    Back to back on the borderlines
    To never shut up & behave
    Gráinne Mhaol
    Queen of the pirates
    She set sail
    On the raging sea
    Gráinne Mhaol
    The gleam of the Irish
    Spun her tales
    On the ocean free
    Banríon na farraige
    Cróga agus tréan
    Ag taisteal ar na dtonnta
    Cailín ag troid di féin
    Tabhair faoi na Breataine
    Éist leis a béic
    Scrios na báid leatromach
    Ag cosaint ar an ríocht
    Never to fall!!!
    A rebel in all!!!
    Gráinne Mhaol
    Queen of the pirates
    She set sail
    On the raging sea
    Gráinne Mhaol
    The gleam of the Irish
    Spun her tales
    On the ocean free

    After hearing the Irish entry for Eurovision I'm convinced either this song or Sirona would've been much superior choices. They have so much more originality and Irish flavor going for them.
    Almost every country was doing the same generic sentimental love song crap and neglecting their native languages in favor of English.

      Has nothing to do with sexism as we have plenty of movies with female leads (Kill Bill, Alien, Birds of Prey, Ghost in the Shell, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Rouge One etc). Most likely it is because the story probably isn't well known outside of Irland.

      @@brucejedilee5290 but we hear about all these other male pirates, like Blackbeard, for example. And she's also done a ton of really amazing things too. Someone said that apparently, after Grainne gave birth to her son, she got right back up and started fighting like a couple minutes later. After just giving birth to a child, at sea, in medieval times, on a ship that's probably gross and disgusting because it's filled with a bunch of grown adults, probably mostly men, who have been at sea for quite a while and didn't have much access to what little hygiene was available at the time. Plus a lot of women died during childbirth, and it was very common for there to be some sort of complications. She gave birth, which is already hard and painful and traumatic enough in today's modern, more advanced world, in those conditions, and got up basically right away, grabbed a sword or whatever, and went right back to fighting. That alone is a qualification for someone to be like, "hey, this amazing person exists, and since it's their birthday, let me tell you about her", on twitter or any other social media site really, and for everyone to go, "oh my gosh!! Look at her!!" And for multiple different movie companies to start making movies about her.

    You know you are a hardcore badass when the only ones I can think off the top of my head capable of beating you in the hardcore department are the FICTIONAL Death Korps and Guts.
    She is seriously one of the most badass women in history. Probably nearing number one.
    For people that haven't read up on her, have this little tidbit.
    She had a child at sea, without any medicine to help with the birth. Come a day later, while she was still down in the sick bay recovering from the intense pain of pure childbirth, her ship was attacked by bandits. Her shipmates came downstairs begging for help, and what does this fucking woman do? With the effects of after birth still in her veins, she fucking RUNS up to the ship's deck screaming, basically naked, covered in blood, shooting her gun and killing like two guys with her sword. The sight alone made the bandits literally turn tail and scamper away whimpering, absolutely sweating rivers of fear from the Mama Bear they had the most unfortunate chance to piss off.
    A.H.B.
    Absolutely Hardcore Badass.

And it's at least somewhat historically accurate. I mean, this WAS hundreds of years ago, and I just now found out about her because I was listening to Miracle of Sound and this popped up, so most people probably haven't heard about her.

    Had no idea about this lady, but having looked up some of her history, I'm glad to know of her now. I like the part where she sacked her son's town when he supported one of her rivals. That's hard core, man.
    To people who make fan art, here's a proposal:
    She lived to the ripe old age of 73, and continued her career well into middle-age. iirc, she lost and rebuilt her fortune three or four times before retiring to England to chill with Q.E.. This woman was a survivor, who never backed down and never gave up (not counting how and why she retired).
    And as Gav referenced in the song, part of her legend is how she cut her hair so she could go to sea. According to what I read, her father wouldn't let her go on voyages with him, saying that her long hair would get tangled in the ropes. So she cut it all off and he let her go with him.
    So, I think it would be cool to see her portrayed as an older woman, the confident, savvy commander of a great fleet. With short hair. :)
    Thanks Gav, for the great song and for introducing me to this fascinating person.
    Also, here is the source for much of my information. Fair warning, it is a great wall of small print text.
