This week, we're completing our first season, with a two-part special on the cruellest pirate of the seven seas: François L'Olonnais.

In this final instalment, we examine the peak and downfall of the Caribbean's most vicious BASTARD: François L'Olonnais. Now the Spanish Empire's public enemy #1, we examine how L'Olonnais fuelled his brutal rampage along the Spanish Main, and how his infamous cruelty and savagery led to his grisly, if not fitting, end.
