7 Most Ruthless & Feared Pirates of All Time: The Ultimate Sea Predators in History...

Now, throughout the course of history, hundreds and thousands of people have taken to the seas to grasp their chances at fortune. Piracy itself can be traced back to around the fourteenth century BC to around the Mediterranean region, and, since then, piracy has been a near constant force in some regions of the world. What we understand as the 'golden age of piracy', with the iconic pirate captains, buccaneers, privateers and frigates, however, primarily took place between the 1650s and the 1730s. The general concept was the same - pirates took to the seas to rob the wealthy, illegally, in the hopes of making a name for themselves, along with heaps of treasure and gold. Some pirates were notorious for their brute force; some for their intelligence and business capabilities; but some stand out for just how fearsome they were.
The names of some particular pirates have been spoken about infamously long after the pirates themselves have been lost to the annals of time; and that is the subject of today's video. We will be travelling to the golden age of piracy and beyond, where we will be meeting some of history's most notorious and feared pirates, giving a profile of their most notable acts, and why they were so notorious. We will meet the individuals that once made the seas echo with the sounds of their very names, striking pure terror into the hearts of locals, merchants and government officials alike. It is as dramatic a subject as it is fascinating. Join us, as we take a look at the most feared pirates of all time.

Your reading out the topic titles displayed on screen as you do for Medieval Madness is sorely missed. Perhaps a minor thing to nitpick but it is an appreciated inclusion on those videos.

Pirate Emperor Strawhat Monkey D. Luffy, the most feared of them all.

Amazing channel. May I make a small suggestion? Can you have a lost of the books you use as sources? I would love to quickly access their titles and names for my own library.

There was a story in my family relating to a letter (now lost) that mentioned a connection with piracy.
When I researched my family tree I learned my ancestors in the 1720s owned a plantation (and slaves 😕)at the Westernmost tip of Jamaica and the Quay at what is now the resort of Negril. According to one telling this bay was the location where the infamous Jack Rackham was surprised by a Navy frigate. With he and his crew so drunk they could not effect an escape, this is what prompted Anne Bonny's parting remark. This would seem to be the piracy connection that was whispered down the generations.

[@McHaven07]

i would have been disappointed if you hadn't mentioned Black Bart in this, the first of what I expect will be a multi-part series.

[@KingEdwardtheTurbulentNeill26]

Ruari the Turbulent also known as the last of the Vikings should have been on this list, no nationality was safe from him and the MacNeil of Barra clan, he treated both friends and foe the same and showed no mercy. He got his turbulent name from Scottish authorities because he caused so much trouble and was either because he always lost his temper or because he always sailed in stormy weather when he committed piracy. He even lived like a king and even though he was pardoned by King James the 6th of Scotland he still committed piracy.
