More about this scene
For his defence of Ogmore Castle against the Welsh, Arnold de Boteler was awarded the manor of Dunraven by William de Londres. Eventually the manor passed by marriage to the Vaughan family; several members of that family were apt to engage in a little freelance wrecking of ships in order to seize their cargoes. It was a usual custom amongst wreckers to kill any sailors who had survived the wrecking; after all, dead men tell no tales. The Vaughans are said to have given up the practice when they wrecked a ship captained by one of their own family.
