The incredible story of pirate Bartholomew Roberts, and how he transformed into the king of the pirates. From his idyllic boyhood to the high seas he ruled for four fiery years. Meticulously researched and grippingly told, this is the definitive account of Canada’s own pirate king.
The incredible story of the “King of the Pirates,” who burst from the waters of early Canada to become a terror of the seas.
He was tall, dark, and handsome, he wore fine velvets and lace, and in four tumultuous years he tore the guts out of the Atlantic. Bartholomew Roberts took over four hundred ships and rarely lost a fight at sea in his short, spectacular reign. Black Flag of the North tells the story of Roberts’s dramatic life, from his boyhood in rural South Wales through his days at sea in the slave trade. He set the Atlantic aflame from the Grand Banks to Brazil, and by blood and fire won his reputation as the fearless and feared king of the pirates.
