Another Pirate Queen is Ching Shih, also known as probably one of the most successful pirate in history. She was a Chinese prostitute who married Zheng Yi, a very successful pirate. After he died, she took his place as Pirate Lord, a role she took very seriously. She was a strict leader and placed laws for the pirates under her command, such as the crime of raping women being punishable by death. Ching Shih commanded over 800,000 sailors and 400 junks - a fleet bigger than most countries' navies. When the Chinese government realized that it was near impossible to defeat her, they offered her (and I believe her crew as well) full amnesty, which she agreed to, and she got to keep her loot. In retirement, she opened up a brothel and gambling house.
Banana Cat Yeah but she was such a great threat the government had to beg her to retire peacefully and one of the few to end their pirate career not to surrendering/dying
@@GamerGrovyle Ching Shih was what the government called a problem and a hindrance lol. Her piracy was a huge thorn in the Chinese government's side. It was to the point that the Chinese imperial govt worked with both the British and Portuguese navies to at least corner her. They did, but she came out fairly unscathed. But the thing is, this incident made Ching Shih realize that she can't be a pirate lord forever - sooner or later, she'll either be killed or captured, likely by the hands of the navy. So she planned one last fatal raid and basically coerced the navies to her conditions, and the Chinese imperial govt begged her to just stop raiding and pirating. It's also considered a win, in way, because she was one of the few notable pirates who 1) built up her own legacy 2) kept her wealth from both her piracy days and brothel/gambling houses 3) and lived all the way up to the old age (at least by those times) of 69. Ching Shih lived and died a very wealthy and successful woman.
16:55 FUN FACT Pirates loved theater. During downtime, they preform shows on board and everyone played a role at least once. A favourite thing was a fake trial with judge, jury, attorney, the whole deal. The crime? Piracy.
Oh buzzfeed, you didn't even mention the fact that both women were rumoured to open their shirts to expose their chests to some before they killed them so that they'll know that they've been killed by women
Not to be salty, but the true pirate queen is Ching Shih who was so badass, the Chinese government had to beg her to retire and in exchange for it they had grant her amnesty AND let her keep all her money.
i've heard about two female pirates that were romantically involved but i don't know if it was anne and mary ON THE OTHER HAND i remember about some female pirates who dressed up as men BUT tore their shirts open just before killing someone, showing their breasts, just to let them know they were being killed by a lady
@Wilsol Alzate, that's not the point, she didnt say "if you had fought, you'll (we'll) live" she said "if you had fought, your (our) death would not be full degradation" Better die fighting than die as attraction..
That doesnt even sound fun honestly Also it probably wasn't the same people for days on end, there were probably people coming and going at random intervals
I think it was more that he didnt want to take care of her. Her dad had all of his money. Anne, the daughter, would have needed a man to 'take care of her'
I'm picturing a full on anime plot right now with Anne's child who was left in Cuba, growing up to be a social, unruly and twisted child and finding out that his mother is a Queen of the sea and then he becomes a pirate to take his mother's seat... or something like that.. Oh and Shane looks like a negotiating type of pirate with that earing... it's cool
@@chloehall4922nothing is really known about what happened to the child. For all we know the child might’ve not survived child birth, but it would be dope if we had a story about her child growing up to be a pirate himself.
They say she was hot tempered and ran wild but think of the time period. If a woman spoke before being spoken to she was considered out of line. If a woman had any other goal in life than becoming a mother she was judged. She was probably just a modern woman ahead of her time, and didn’t want to be oppressed or have her life dictated by a man. It’s also of value to take into account that all these anecdotes were from that era, so obviously she would be made out to sound crazy.
FLIPPIN WEEABOO yeet well I’m not justifying that, I think it’s just important to take into account how women were seen back then and that most of these anecdotes come from men of that time period. Stabbing isn’t a vibe but you don’t usually just stab someone when they’re being inconvenient, so there’s likely more to the story. Children at the time also weren’t really viewed as citizens, and she was a child when that happened so that also could have been blown out of proportion, or her side of the story wasn’t taken into account, just the maid’s (ie the adult).
This is funny because many of history's greatest pirates were women. My two personal favorites: Cheng I Sao (Ching Shih), a Chinese pirate who controlled trade in Canton for a while, got super rich, backed the government into a corner, escaped all her pirating with no consequence and lived a full, happy life and Jeanne de Clisson (Lioness of Brittany), who revenge-killed a bunch of people for the unfair murder of her husband and terrorized the Normandy area, she also (I think) lived out her life happily.
@@LannasMissingLink Grace O'Malley was also a Pirate Queen of Ireland who you really didn't want to mess with. She killed her own family if you betrayed her. And she met with Queen Elisabeth (The Tubor one) but refused to bow as she did not see her as her Queen.
Also Graine Mhoal (I forgot exactly how to spell it, gaeilge is a nightmare to learn😂), she had songs and everything written so when she returned from sea, the locals would sing for her return. You know your popular when you have a theme song dammit!
Christine C. Part of what makes them so amazing is that women were literally not allowed to be pirates. So it makes their stories even more exciting, since they faced danger on both sides.
Ruining History & Unsolved are probably two of the best things buzzfeed has ever created. Also love this one especially since I knew some of this due to Assassin's Creed : Black Flag haha
Tara Lacey lol my bad. I know I typed it correct but my phone always misspells it! I don't know why! It's the same with the word maybe, it always changes to Mayne... -_-
The original story of the sirens: The sirens were originally nymphs who were assigned to guard Persephone. When Persephone disappeared into the underworld(did you know, she wasn’t actually abducted? She just wandered into the underworld and decided to stay lol), Demeter gave them wings, some say as punishment in which they would have to search for her, and some say to aid them in retrieving her home. The sirens aren’t mermaids as many think, they’re actually birds with faces of beautiful women. They eventually gave up on the search and settled down on islands and rocks. Because they gave up, Demeter cursed them. The Sirens' song was a beautiful, yet sad melody, eternally calling for Persephone's return. The probable reason as to why they drown sailors is for revenge on what hades(who is actually the nice and not evil as often depicted), a man, did.
They were lol people just like to state they were romantically linked because they were crossdressers. It was more like trying to insult them because back than gays were used as insults I guess.
Joyce and Selorm are so delightful! Their energy fits perfectly with the chaotic energy of Shane and Ryan. Along with Sara’s sweetness - this is the perfect episode
I love this series. Buzzfeed's longer series are actually really well-produced. I prefer this, "Unsolved," and "Try Guys" to "I tried these Instagram famous foods for 24 hours"
This is my favorite series on Buzzfeed! I love how Shane narrates the story with a mix of seriousness and mischievousness. It really works and sets the tone of the video. I wish there'd be a more regular schedule of episodes but I also appreciate the quality of these few ones, far apart as they may be.
A note on the mannequin, Selorm's comment on pirates being theater kids, and things -- I've heard/read that pirates, because of the vast amounts of down-time that they had, often wrote and preformed plays and/or musicals aboard their ships. :D
You're forgetting about the bit where Anne was so obsessed with Mark (Mary) Read that Mary had to reveal herself as a woman so Anne would stop trying to get in her pants.... This apparently didn't work
I can't believe they left out her signature move. When she killed someone, she would expose her breast (or she fought with one breast exposed) so the dying man knew he was just slain by a woman.
My favorite pirate was Jeanne de Clisson. She was a Frenchwoman in the 1300’s who sought revenge for her husband’s beheading. She had three ships, each painted black with red sails. Jeanne was infamous for leaving only one survivor alive after plundering a ship and telling him to take this message back “tell the king I am coming to kill him.” Also, about the whole dressing the girl as a boy thing, boys were easier to explain. Young boys were commonly apprenticed, so having a young boy hang around you, especially if it was a family member’s, wasn’t that uncommon in those circles.
some of the most interesting characters in history were from the Golden Age of Pirates. Bonny, Blackbeard, Calico Jack, they would all be celebrities nowadays because of their flamboyant characters
Saying that the daughter is a relative's son would be because, in the 18th century, there would be a much greater likelihood of apprenticing a boy to learn a skill, than a girl; training a girl as a female clerk would have been almost unheard of at the time, and would have raised neighbors' suspicions. A bit more common would be a woman who helped her husband in his work, learned it well, and, as a widow, took over her husband's work after his death. Training girls beyond the "feminine arts" (sewing, knitting/crocheting, regular and fine needle work, etc.) was highly unusual in this time period.
Good point. Plus, the local people would know the maid had a baby daughter...if the child actually was a boy then it couldn't be the bastard child of Cormac and Brennan.
as a witch i can actually confirm that any time someone breaks an egg into large pieces one of us is chosen at random to immediately teleport directly behind them and we HAVE to eat the whole egg otherwise we can't go home
I’m living for the two lovely ladies that told Shane he looked intimidating when he really just looks like a watered down Boy George trying to blend in with the common folk
LITERALLY ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT THIS EPISODE 😂 I’ve been looking for a comment to see if anyone else thought he looked like a watered down Boy George 😂
Nathan Bruce But she wasn't an exception to that though, the girl had ten kids, did not die at child birth, and lived quite a long life even by today's standards.

so were cats sadly, yet rubbing a bald man's head is deemed lucky, superstition is weird
Angry ginger noises
"Yo what up I'm broke" - John Bonny
Same.
"I just went to church for 5 min."
I can't stop laughing. I live for her commentary.
I can't believe they left out her signature move. When she killed someone, she would expose her breast (or she fought with one breast exposed) so the dying man knew he was just slain by a woman.
My favorite pirate was Jeanne de Clisson. She was a Frenchwoman in the 1300’s who sought revenge for her husband’s beheading. She had three ships, each painted black with red sails. Jeanne was infamous for leaving only one survivor alive after plundering a ship and telling him to take this message back “tell the king I am coming to kill him.”
Also, about the whole dressing the girl as a boy thing, boys were easier to explain. Young boys were commonly apprenticed, so having a young boy hang around you, especially if it was a family member’s, wasn’t that uncommon in those circles.
So is this show ever gonna come back?
Idk😭😭😭
I really hope soooo 😪
They better...I really like history and this show brings such a fun perspective with my favorite buzzfeed people.
no since buzzefeed blue turned into a gameing channel they don't really have any home to go put it now
@@caram5222 buzzfeed unsolved could host it since it has shane and ryan
Or buzzfeeds main Channel
*this group needs to be permanent to this series PLEASE ESPECIALLY JOYCE AND SARA*
Yes please !!
YES!
12:36
Me, a witch: *hears a egg crack in the distance*
Also me: Ope, that’s my call, gotta release the CRACKin and what not.
SAME THOUGH
What's crackalackin'
They meant Kraken not Crackin’ lol. Krakens are sea monsters
@@emmac6596 yeah they meant kraken but they were making a pun bc of the subject being egg cracking
I never knew ow much I needed Shane to pierce his ear until this video
FUCKING FINALLY. I’VE BEEN WAITING FORE-V-E-R FOR THIS TO RETURN!!
I'm sure this takes a lot of time to make (with all the research and animation) but it's definitely worth the wait!
Lee Jia Wei yeah
IF HE DOESN'T WEAR THE EARRING IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF UNSOLVED I'LL SUE
Mon Bon For how much?
Mon Bon probably recorded before this last season started lulz
Mon Bon same
update: he did not wear it, i'm very disappointed.
Ok but in all seriousness can Joyce and Selorm stay please??? Their commentary is 100/10 and they add such a fun spice to the episodes!! Love them!!
Shane is such a happy boy in this episode I love itttt
*yes sir i am a boy as hell*
She was already dressing as a guy for a while. It didn't bother her when she was a pirate.
Cmere ill make ya pregs
Ftms when they finish transitioning
S Q U A L L Y S Q U O O P
Ummm Shane looks more like George Michael than he does a pirate
MsLovelifetothefulle THANK GOD I WASNT THE ONLY ONE
MsLovelifetothefulle He really does. But also I can vouch that he has a giant head.
Girl I was finna say that lmao
Definitely looks like a lesbian mom from the 90s.
this is true of any situation
some of the most interesting characters in history were from the Golden Age of Pirates. Bonny, Blackbeard, Calico Jack, they would all be celebrities nowadays because of their flamboyant characters
whoever does the art for these videos deserves all the medals in the word
i love this cast lineup, this was SO funny between the five of them
Bo Bighorse agreed. They played off each other well. This was really funny.
Saying that the daughter is a relative's son would be because, in the 18th century, there would be a much greater likelihood of apprenticing a boy to learn a skill, than a girl; training a girl as a female clerk would have been almost unheard of at the time, and would have raised neighbors' suspicions. A bit more common would be a woman who helped her husband in his work, learned it well, and, as a widow, took over her husband's work after his death. Training girls beyond the "feminine arts" (sewing, knitting/crocheting, regular and fine needle work, etc.) was highly unusual in this time period.
Good point. Plus, the local people would know the maid had a baby daughter...if the child actually was a boy then it couldn't be the bastard child of Cormac and Brennan.
"Apologies to Keira Knightly" omg the POTC reference I fangirled
So pirates are kinda like..... Old timey mafias on the ocean?
some were, protection rackets are way more sustainable than thievery
that's one way of describing them lol
Exactly what I said!! La Costa Nostra!!
‘He has a plus sized head, its not his fault’
Callie Johnston Next to Squally Squoop, this is my fave
as a witch i can actually confirm that any time someone breaks an egg into large pieces one of us is chosen at random to immediately teleport directly behind them and we HAVE to eat the whole egg otherwise we can't go home
also my favorite conspiracy theory is that mary and anne escaped prison and ran away to virginia to open a bed and breakfast
Very important to break it because some of us are allergic.
really
this is true
can confirm, i was the egg
So... Petition to start season 2?
Yup lets do that
@@megangrant7412 Shane is continuing it on their independent channel (Watcher Entertainment), and it's now called Puppet History
It's so nice to watch this. It's like a social studies/history review for me since this was apart of my schooling (I live in The Bahamas)
baybeetricia Do you just watch pirates of the Caribbean for history lessons?
Real talk I thought your profile pic was someone I knew and I had to check their Facebook to be sure
Yasmin Scanlon what about the profile picture?
bigbigcheese2 Nah. I watch Pirates of the Caribbean for Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom :)
George Hoyle Really? That's interesting.
Sorry did Ricky Goldsworth show up in place of Ryan?
and.rosie 👏👏👏👏
and.rosie can you please say everything in one comment?
and.rosie your a genius
Yes. Ricky Goldsworth is Fucking back bitches
👏👏👏
“Including 50 rolls of tobacco, hell yeah...smoking’s bad” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
15:27
Did anyone notice that the barrel says "Red Rum", as in "Murder" spelled backward?
i didn't but that's amazing
Shining tingz
HERE'S JOHNNY
Ryan's pirate name should've been Ricky Goldsworth
Morgan yes!
*If Shane taught history at my school school would be a lot less dull 😂*
Can we talk about how Shane narrates as if he is being sarcastic 😭😂😂😂
“Anne was a pirate now. She’s... a pirate. It’s pirate time!”
I’m living for the two lovely ladies that told Shane he looked intimidating when he really just looks like a watered down Boy George trying to blend in with the common folk
LITERALLY ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT THIS EPISODE 😂 I’ve been looking for a comment to see if anyone else thought he looked like a watered down Boy George 😂
Can Joyce and Selorm please become regulars???? Their commentary had me cry laughing
Squalisquoop
Sydney Riley yes! 👏😊
SHE HAD ME DYING ON THIS ONE !!!!! BUT SERIOUSLY WAS IS A SQUALLYSQUOOP ???? These girls are a great addition. Keep them comin' !!!
Omg yes! Their commentary was gold.
life expectancy for a woman in the 1700's was 25-35 years old. She was ancient compared to that.
Abi Foster: mainly cuz of how many people died at birth though. Women that made it past that lived a lot longer
No that was the AVERAGE life expectancy for a man.
Nathan Bruce But she wasn't an exception to that though, the girl had ten kids, did not die at child birth, and lived quite a long life even by today's standards.
Abi Foster Eliza Hamilton lived until her 80’s. For that is non accurate, the life expectancy for a woman back then was 40-55
Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton lived to 97 years old like damn
How buzzfeed clickbaits: Put Shane and Ryan on the thumbnail.
Sara Starburgers or Eugene
Gertude The Great no. Just no.
How is it clickbait when they're IN the video?
Dove M well think of this, if they had Shane and someone else people would be less likely to click on it.
I have rewatched each of these like 20 times... I am desperate Shane... hook us up with some more ruining history
Bella B your prayer has been answered in the form of puppet history
I feel like Shane and Ryan kinda switched roles in this show
True !! I never noticed!
I mean tbh I can see ryan being all like "you tease me relentlessly in my show so im gonna do the same to you in yours." XD
👏when 👏will👏this👏be👏an👏official 👏series 👏
*YAAR MOMMY*
I cracked up 😂
Me too
19:53 was literally me for all four seasons of “Black Sails” and their portrayal of Anne. And yes, I remain devastated no one ever uttered “squally squoop” on that show.
JOYCE AND SELORM THO! LOVING THEIR COMMENTARY
