In 1607, John Smith, an English soldier and explorer, was captured by one of Powhatanโs hunting parties. According to him, Matoaka threw herself across his body to protect him from execution at the hands of Powhatan. However, there is no proof that it actually happened. Matoaka herself was kidnapped by colonists to be ransomed for English prisoners held by her father. During her captivity, tobacco planter John Rolfe conditioned her release upon her agreeing to marry him. She died when she was 21 years old.
