Pocahontas

Pocahontas was born in Virginia 1595 and was the daughter of an great Indian chief, Powhatan. Her real name was Matoaka, and the name Pocahontas was a childhood nickname  - which means spoild child.

There are rumours about John Smith and Pocahontas had an affair, but in that time Pocahontas was only 11-13 years old, and John Smith was 30.

Pocahontas saved John Smith from the indians, because they wanted to execute him.

Pocahonas was like an ambassador and dealer between the two people. She helped the English when they came in 1607 to optain food.

It says that Pocahontas was taken captured by the settlers, and that is where she meet her husband John Rolfe who was  she got married to and had a son with.

In 1617 Pocahontas died, on her way back to Virginia, when she got sick with smallpox. She is buried in the parish church chapel in Gravesend.
