266. William Bradford

An English Puritan separatist originally from Yorkshire in Northern England, William Bradford moved to Holland with other Pilgrims in order to escape religious persecution from King James of England, and then emigrated to northeastern North America on the ship Mayflower in 1620. He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact agreement between the settlers and went on to serve as Governor of the Plymouth Colony intermittently for about 30 years.  Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/o9FffAQXspk which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.  Puritan books available at https://amzn.to/3uQEshf William Bradford books available at https://amzn.to/4a2FTJR  Pilgrim books available at https://amzn.to/3RmFkTE  Mayflower books available at https://amzn.to/3T02Ze0  Plymouth Colony books available at https://amzn.to/3sZsvFz  LibriVox available for Free at https://amzn.to/3E8a5EE  ENJOY Ad-Free content, Bonus episodes, and Extra materials when joining our growing community on https://patreon.com/markvinet  SUPPORT this channel by purchasing any product on Amazon using this FREE entry LINK https://amzn.to/3POlrUD (Amazon gives us credit at NO extra charge to you).  Mark Vinet's HISTORICAL JESUS podcast at https://parthenonpodcast.com/historical-jesus Mark's TIMELINE video channel: https://youtube.com/c/TIMELINE_MarkVinet   Website: https://markvinet.com/podcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.vinet.9 X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/MarkVinet_HNA   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/denarynovels   Mark's books: https://amzn.to/3k8qrGM  Audio credit: Librivox—William Bradford’s journal Of Plymouth Plantation (Book I, Chapter 10) read by David Leeson.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
