Legend has it that Pocahontas saved her love John Smith form native warriors who were about to club him to death. Pocahontas is beloved to have been just twelve at the time (1607) and John Smith was twenty nice. Evidently she had a crush on him as she stopped visiting the settlement when John Smith went back to England in 1609.
In 1612 Pocahontas was taken captive by the Englishmen. In 1614 another Englishman named Jon Rolfe told her that John Smith had died and he married her. In 1616 she accompanied her husband to England and she found out that John Smith was n fact alive. Two of them met when Pocahontas, now known by her Christian name Rebecca, was deeply saddened to learn that her husband had lied to her. The day she, her son and husband were going to return to America, at the age of 21, Rebecca lapsed into a coma and died.
