Whilst writing She-King myself and Lisa decided upon Grace O'Malley also known as Grannaille, the famous pirate queen of Connaught as our chosen imaginative subject…
Grace O'Malley, was Queen of Umaill, chieftain of the Ó Máille clan and a pirate in 16th century Ireland. She is commonly known by her nickname Granuaile in Irish folklore, and a historical figure in 16th century Irish history, and is sometimes known as "The Sea Queen of Connaught". Biographies of her have been written primarily in the 20th and 21st centuries by the historian Anne Chambers.
