Bartholomew Roberts
Bartholomew Roberts born John Robert (May 17, 1682 - February 10, 1722), also known as Black Bart or Bart Roberts (Welsh: Barti Ddu), was a Welsh pirate who raided shipping off the Americas and West Africa between 1719 and 1722. He was the most successful pirate of the golden age of piracy, capturing far more ships than some of the best-known pirates of this era such as Blackbeard or Captain Kidd.
