Henry Morgan, The Buccaneer King

Admiral Sir Henry Morgan (1635 - 25 August 1688) was a Welshman and an Admiral of the British Royal Navy, a buccaneer (pirates who attacked Spanish shipping in the Caribbean Sea during the 17th century), and a pirate. It is uncertain how Morgan arrived in Jamaica, but it happened in the in 1655, when island was occupied by the buccaneers. He joined the England forces which attacked and robbed Spanish colonies in the Caribbean. By joining a famous captain, Christopher Myngs and his fleet on some of his expeditions, Morgan gained much more naval experience. Morgan, sacked Maracaibo, Portobello, and Panama City, stealing a huge amount from the Spanish. England and Spain had been at peace when the last attack occurred, so after his return to Jamaica, he was arrested and shipped to England for a trial. Although a prisoner of state, he was never been punished. Instead, he was knighted by Charles II and promoted to the deputy governor of Jamaica. He spent the rest of his life peacefully with his wife, on a big plantation until he died in 1688.
