So just before the break, we were talking about, you know, this relief voyage of the Solomon that might have made all the difference to the English sailors who had made it, these 38 men with Courtauld waiting for something with nothing to drink, nothing to eat.

And this would have been everything that they needed.

Giles, what happens?

Does it make it to the shore?

I mean, one person though that you can admire, at least for their tenacity, is Nathaniel Courtauld, who's having to hold the line and have his men hold the line with, you know, watching men taken from the Solomon, watching any hope of supply.

And he does manage to do this.

He's enough of a threat that there is this plan, this ambush plan set up by the Dutch in October 1620 to bump him off.

So tell us how that works.

I mean, you've got to do this for cinema.

Can you just tell this?

Look, okay, so there he is.

He's there slumped, taking another bullet, taking another bullet, and then he sinks beneath the water.

Do you know what?

It's a Terminator moment, isn't it?

Where the man's hand is the last thing seen, never vanishes forever.

So with Courtauld gone, the siege, I guess, just collapses because who's there to stop him?

What happens?

40, 540, yeah.

Swords for hire?

Are they sellswords?
