Do you like crazy vindictive Welsh pirates with a flair for fancy clothes? Well then this is the episode for you! Bartholomew Roberts got into some wild shit over the course of his 3ish year career. He became one of the most successful pirates ever in terms of ships captured, and showed the people of Martinique why they shouldn't send pirate hunters after him. He wasn't terribly creative with ship names though. But he did create a whole pirate code. Enjoy!
