Bartholomew 'Black Bart' Roberts: The Last True Pirate (Pirate History Explained)

Bartholomew Roberts was considered to be the most successful pirate who ever lived, and that's no exaggeration. He dominated the seas and would be remembered as the last pirates to close the curtain on the golden age of piracy.

Bartholomew Roberts was such a cool, cold, calm and calculated killer indeed at sea. His lavishingly style of fashion/dress and drinking of tea. As well as other oddly peculiar behavioral traits. I found them to be very interesting and animated about him. A superficial persona indeed for a pirate of his stature.

"A short life and a merry one"

Only the Sage knows the whereabouts of the observatory

"After a while, the life of a pirate grew on Roberts." "Pirate is it? There's lovely."

I really liked this vid & I like the thought of the Captain & the first mate talking Welsh to each other 😊😊😊😊 nice one 😊

[thumbbringer]

I wonder if the movie The Princess Bride got the dread pirate Roberts from this pirate. Great video.

Black beard and Bartholomew roberts, are true pirates!🗡

[yankeeforcestudios]

He’s probably my favorite pirate only to be rivaled by Blackbeard, and this is because of not only all the reasons in this video, but also because he’s like the only historical figure to share my birthday.

My favorite Royal Shichibukai with a weird palm that can repel anything, including Air and Pain

Love all your videos! Question, are you going to be covering Davey Jones? 👍✌

Regarding Roberts' burning the slave ship with slaves still aboard, this goes back to experiences during his childhood. He started his seafaring career as a boy aboard his father's merchant ship that was captured by pirates off the coast of East Africa. The survivors now without a ship were then captured by native Africans who either killed all adults or boiled them alive in large pots and cannibalized them. Only Roberts and another boy survived the ordeal. Roberts remained marooned for several years until rescued by another passing ship.

He is a sage and folks said he knows the location of observatory. He is the husband of a precursor.

I love your videos! Finaly a channel that covers pirate history

[rolyngeorges]

I absolutely love pirates and your videos are awesome.

[StopFear]

It does not help that the video displays those ridiculous cartoonish fantasy pirate depictions.

[evandavid]

Barti Ddu o Casnewydd Fach...!!! (Any Welsh readers of T. Llew Jones' book about Roberts here...?).

[sgtrock]

Bullet proof AND immune to guns?? That's a man that runs from a knife fight I guess.
Sorry, it just stuck me funny. I love your pirate history videos!

[wolfpackforge]

Is the the same Roberts depicted in the movie the Princess Bride?

[NotaBizarreJoJo]

I would love to hear you narrate a documentary on Animal Planet.

the victory is the creator of history and I don't think black bart burned those slaves I think it was a way to ruin his name and it works cuz his name isn't mention with out what they claim he did rather than all the other amazing things he really did do
