How was Pocahontas kidnapped?
In 1613, Samuel Argall enlisted the aid of Iopassus, the lesser weroance of Patawomeck, to help capture Pocahontas. Iopassus convinced his brother that it was in their best interest to help Argall in his plan in order to preserve the friendship of the English. Pocahontas accompanied a wife of Iopassus to see Argall’s ship. After all were on board, Pocahontas was the only one not permitted to leave.
