The Batavia: Part Two - The Heretic

This week on Tales of History and Imagination we return to the wreck of the Batavia. In part two we discuss heresy, and the harrowing life of under-merchant Jeronimus Cornelisz. This is part two of a four parter. Trigger warnings: Murder, colonialism, child mortality, religious extremism. Sources Include: Batavia’s Graveyard by Mike Dash And Batavia by Peter Fitzsimons.
