Supported by the Royal Navy, one of whose commanders is a far off relative to Queen Camilla, he fought the Borneo Pirates.

Get My FREE Weekly Newsletter https://www.thehistorychap.com Through the 1840's Sir James Brooke fought a series of bloody encounters with the pirates based along the north coast of Borneo. He was supported in these efforts by the Royal Navy. His battles with the pirates were contraversal, even at the time. His tactics and motives were attacked in the British parliament. Many questioned whether he was pursuing a humanitarian agenda or one of self enrichment and power. At the end of his reign at Rajah of Sarawak, he had cleared the pirate menace from the waters around northern Borneo and established a dynasty that would rule Sarawak for nearly a century.

Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today. History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens. So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life. My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you.
