They were the people who were possibly leaving because of the lack of jobs in England, because of the risks around poor harvests or wanting newer opportunities, plague being around. You know, there were lots of reasons why they possibly wanted to leave England. There was one little group of children, four children, who were sent on the voyage

with no parents because the man they had thought was their father had divorced their mother and sent them away believing that they were the product of adultery. So there's less different backstories for all of these characters, if you like, on the Mayflower. And some of them are quite sad.

So you have got these two different groups, the saints and the strangers, and that becomes a challenge, particularly as things progress and it becomes clear. that they're not heading to the place that they intended to go to.

I think because you've got the two different groups, it's hard to say who were the leaders, if you like, because I think you've got leaders within the pilgrim group, but there were certainly differences and difficulties between these two groups. So the first governor of the colony, once they got to America, was called John Carver, and he... actually died quite quickly after they arrived.

So he wasn't governor for very long. And after that, William Bradford became the governor. And he had been a young man who was only 18 years old when he originally fled England with William Brewster, who's sometimes known as the Pilgrim Elder, kind of an advisor, a preacher for them at times. He printed pamphlets and was quite prominent in the Leiden community.

So Bradford, when they made the voyage, he was 30 years old. And so he would go on to become their leader. And he was governor on and off for many years after the establishment of the colony.

Yeah, I think possibly one of the most challenging relationships that I remember William Bradford describing in his diary was between the pilgrims and one of the crew. And he's one of the few people who actually died on the voyage And he describes in detail how this particular man was, he was basically being really horrible to the pilgrims and really mean to them. They were seasick.
