Bartholomew Roberts

Bartholomew Roberts (17 May 1682 – 10 February 1722) was born John Roberts, a Welsh pirate who raided ships off the Americas and West Africa between 1719 and 1722. He was the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy as measured by vessels captured,〔Rediker p. 33.〕 taking over 470 prizes in his career.〔Breverton p. 172〕 He is also known as Black Bart ((ウェールズ語:Barti Ddu)), but this name was never used in his lifetime,〔Sanders, p. 18. "Black Bart" was coined as the title of a 20th-century poem by Welsh poet I. D. Hooson, who apparently picked that name because Johnson described Roberts as having a "black" complexion.〕 and also risks confusion with Black Bart of the American West.
==Early life==

Bartholomew Roberts was born in 1682 in Casnewydd-Bach,〔Yount p.74〕 between Fishguard and Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Wales. His name was originally John Roberts, and his father was most likely George Roberts.〔Burl p. 55〕 It's not clear why Roberts changed his name from John to Bartholomew,〔Yount p.64〕 but pirates often adopted aliases, and he may have chosen that name after the well-known buccaneer Bartholomew Sharp.〔Sanders, p. 18.〕 He is thought to have gone to sea when he was 13 in 1695, but there is no further record of him until 1718, when he was mate of a Barbados sloop.〔Richards p. 20〕
In 1719, he was third mate on the slave ship ''Princess'' under Captain Abraham Plumb. In early June that year, the ''Princess'' was anchored at Anomabu (then spelled Annamaboa, which is situated along the Gold Coast of West Africa, present-day Ghana) when she was captured by pirates. The pirates were in two vessels, the ''Royal Rover'' and the ''Royal James'', and were led by captain Howell Davis. Davis, like Roberts, was a Welshman, originally from Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire. Several of the crew of the ''Princess'' were forced to join the pirates, including Roberts.
Davis quickly discovered Roberts' abilities as a navigator and took to consulting him.〔Burl p. 59〕 He was also able to confide information to Roberts in Welsh, thereby keeping it hidden from the rest of the crew.〔(Famous Welsh )〕 Roberts is said to have been reluctant to become a pirate at first, but soon came to see the advantages of this new lifestyle. Captain Charles Johnson reports him as saying:
