“We interrupt the debate scene at Cleere’s pub to wander down to the coast to the little tourist town of Baltimore. It is a tiny and mostly forgotten relic today. But what a story it has to tell: one of the most remarkable stories in Christendom. For it was the only town in England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland that was ever attacked by Moors. Why? They wanted more. Imagine the shock to poor Joane Broadbrook. She awoke early on the morning of June 20, 1631, to discover her roof was on fire and troops of the Ottoman Empire were breaking down her door.”
