In the 1840’s an Englishman, created his own private kingdom on the island of Borneo. Supported by the Royal Navy, one of whose commanders is a far-off relative to Queen Camilla, he fought the Borneo Pirates.
This is the story of James Brooke, the white Rajah of Sarawak, and the Borneo Pirates.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
