The untold adventures of Captain Robert Isted of Hastings, a genuine Elizabethan privateer. The Barque of Bulleyn is a thrilling story of adventure, gun-running, piracy, political intrigue and betrayal, with passion and love along the way. It is based on events that occurred between April and July 1574, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The novel is primarily about the author s ancestor, Robert Isted of Hastings: the captain of the Barque of Bulleyn, a ship of war that he had purchased from the Navy Royal. When he was a boy, K. C. Isted's father took him to Hastings and told him that the family was descended from pirates and smugglers. K. C. Isted never forgot this. Years later, when researching his family history, he discovered the full story. The Barque of Bulleyn is a result of that research.
