QMR - The Quest for Morgan's
Rum
In the early 13th century, the most feared man to sail the waters
of the English channel was a former monk named Eustace - a talented
and storied adventurer.
Eustace's fleet performed many duties during this war, pillaging
and plundering French coastal towns and destroying French ships.
King John felt he needed Eustace's ships enough that when the
pirate’s ships began to raid English towns as well, King John
went so far as to issue him a full pardon.
But, like any good pirate, Eustace the Monk's relationship with
England didn't last long. In 1212, after the British began to seize
several of the island assets he had claimed in the English Channel,
Eustace decided to side with the French instead. In 1215, a Civil
War broke out in England, which France took as their opportunity to
invade, with Eustace the Monk's help.
And this is how Eustace the Monk made enemies of both England and
France and became the most feared and despised of men.
