When affairs between the Powhatans and Jamestown settlers were rough, and a few English settlers were being held captive by the Native Americans, Pocahontas was captured in hopes of being used for negotiation. This proved successful for the most part, with all the English being released. There was other items, such as weapons, that needed to be returned after being taken, but were not by the refusal of Pocahontas' father, chief of the Powhatan Native Americans. No conflict arose from this, though. The seven settlers were the main concern of the English.
