Bartholomew Roberts maintained one of the most colorful and diverse pirate companies in history. Aboard his Royal Fortune where men from different nations, races, and walks of life. However, it was far from egalitarian, nor was it a simple social structure. Every pirate was not equal. In this video I will cover all of the social castes of Roberts' company, and also some of the specific characters in the crew.

Here's my pirate meme : Thomas Sutton (lieutenant of Roberts) : It's the looting!😠 James Skyrme (other lieutenant of Roberts) : It's the cutlasses!😠 Thomas Sutton : It's the looting!!!!!😠😠😠 James Skyrme : The cutlasses!!!!!😠😠😠 Thomas Sutton : LOOTING!!!!!😡😡😡 James Skyrme : CUTLASSES!!!!!!😡😡😡 (And a fight begins between the two) Sutton and Skyrme to each other : @#%!!!!!😡😡😡 (Suddenly the door opens , and their leader Bartholomew Roberts enters......in this moment everybody goes silent) Sutton : S-Sorry Commodore.😨 Skyrme : W-We were just discussing, what's the best thing about being a pirate.😨 Roberts : Oh, really?🤨 Sutton : I-I suggested......the looting.😨 Skyrme : A-And I suggested......the cutlasses😨. Roberts : Well you are both wrong!!!!😠.......The best thing about being a pirate isn't the looting or the cutlasses or the grog or the scurvy.....no, no and no.......the best thing about being a pirate.......It's TEA TIME!!!!!!😁😁😁😁 The crew : YEAH!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Walter Kennedy: I'm Walter Kennedy and I'm going to be a mighty pirate! Years later.... Walter Kennedy: and then I mutinied and took Bartholomew Robert's prize ship! Brothel clients: If I hear this story one more times, I'm gonna be crying myself.

I get that reference!
Interesting how Black Bart's pirate forces were organised. Guess somewhat big number of mutinies, desertions can be attributed to adding additional layers of command to more self-governing crew model. Kinda makes you think about how dependant on good will and sense of freedom pirate crews really were, which is easy to understand seeing how they were always one bad sea battle away from the noose. Great and informative video!
My ancestors turned to piracy when Cromwells forces took England. They returned & helped restore Charles the 2nd but my family had to flee again in the 1740's. We served the true crown as we promised from Henry the 4th to Bonnie Prince Charlie. We've been adrift from our ancestral lands ever since. I guess what im getting at is that there are many many ways to end up a pirate & a good portion of those known as a pirate to one is a loyal subject to another.

You’re doing fantastic videos. Please keep them coming
Great video, used to not be a big fan of Roberts, despite his overwhelming successes. But after watching a couple of your videos on him, he and his crew have definitely gotten more of my interest. In some of the less reputable books I read when I was younger he was either described as a murderous villain who prayed on the most helpless, or some kind of old timey anti racist superhero. When in reality he was just an arrogant pirate who accepted the underlying idea of piracy, and his men it seems followed suit, even calling him a coward as he lay dying. Love it!
Glad there’s more “pirate scholarship” to keep digging these hidden facts! 💪🏽
A wonderful video again. This had much new info, to me at least. Keep up the good work!🏴☠

yeah this one was the most interesting to make and it could have been longer ofc. sadly i dont think i'll ever make another crew video because they dont get a lot of views, same as blackbeard's :/ even though its the small characters that are interesting to me
Another amazing video!
I like how even more illustrations (both from the period and modern art) are implemented in your videos, so there's more variety of them. Maybe in the future all of the graphics will be made of period illustrations XD BTW la Palisse is that one comic relief character reappearing every few episodes before "that one comic relief character reappearing every few episodes" concept existed.

Can your make video about pirate fleet and the name pitate ship
im gettin a row boat, and goin on the river to be a pirate. there are cruise casinos, uh... speed boats... it's pirate time. The economy demands it.
Helping out the algorithm
And I thought Jone Paul Jones' ship had a mixed crew and officers.
At some point I would love for a video to be on the pirates/sailors apparel during the early 18th century and what they wore clothing wise with the records of that even paintings that might’ve shown it

Lets say what we 're all thinking here -- robbert's crew weren;t pirates- they were savages.
