Francois L'Ollonais, French Pirate

Jean-David Nau (1635 - 1668) was a French pirate, active in the Caribbean during the 1660s. As a young man he was sold to a master who took him to the Caribbean. From 1650 to 1660 he lived as servant on the Island of Martinique. In 1660 he joined the buccaneers stationed in Saint Domingue. Robbing and killing Spaniards was his occupation from that point till the end of his life. His nicknames were Francois L'Ollonais and Bane of the Spanish (Flail of the Spaniards). He was an expert torturer, and his techniques included slicing portions of flesh off the victim with a sword, burning them alive, and woolding, which involved tying knotted rope around the victim's head until their eyes were forced out. He and his men raped, pillaged and eventually burned much of Maracaibo before moving south to Gibraltar, on the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo. Despite being outnumbered, the pirates slaughtered 500 soldiers of Gibraltar's garrison and held the city for ransom. He ran aground on a sandbar on the coast of Darien, the province of Panama. They headed inland to find food, but were captured by the Kuna tribe in Darién. He was eaten by the natives.
