SHORT SYNOPSIS
From the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, the 17th century is regarded as the golden age of piracy. The Eastern Mediterranean is ablaze due to the long-lasting Venetian-Ottoman wars, leaving the sea-ways unguarded. Pirates and corsairs of all nationalities seize the opportunity provided. The historical docu-drama series “Pirates of the Aegean” tell their stories.
In this 4th episode, with the title “The White Sea”, the French pirate Hugues de Creveliers, a nobleman from Provence, abandons his wealth and a quiet life and seek adventure and glory in the Aegean. He establishes a mighty Company of pirates, attracting all the notorious pirates and corsairs of his era. A member of this Company is the ferocious Greek pirate Michalis Maniatis. During an attack in Ikaria, he kidnaps a seven-year-old boy, who later on seals the fate of an entire island, Ikaria. Ottoman pirates do the same, abducting a boy from a Naxos beach, who, having himself become a pirate, is appointed as a high-ranking Ottoman official, known as Captain Tzafer.
