    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.

  • Jacobite Pirates?
    Jacobite Pirates? ARNE BIALUSCHEWSKI* The dramatic upsurge of Anglo-American piracy in the Caribbean after 1715 coincided with a major Jacobite uprising in the British Isles. In the following years, pirates used Jacobite symbols and rhetoric as a sign of defiance of royal auth- ority in the colonies and on the high seas. In 1719, several marauding gangs even cloaked their crimes as legitimate resistance to King George I and his regime. However, all references to the Jacobite cause were superficial and did not constitute active support for the cause of the exiled Stuarts. La spectaculaire recrudescence de la piraterie anglo-ame´ricaine dans les Caraı¨bes apre`s 1715 a coı¨ncide´ avec une importante re´volte jacobite dans lesˆ ıles britanniques. Dans les anne´es qui suivirent, les pirates utilise`rent les symboles et la rhe´torique jacobites pour de´fier l’autorite´ royale dans les colonies et en haute mer. En 1719, plusieurs bandes de maraudeurs perpe´tre`rent meˆme leurs crimes au nom d’une re´sistance le´gitime contre le roi George I et son re´gime. Toutefois, toutes les re´fe´- rences a` la cause jacobite e´taient superficielles et ne repre´sentaient en rien un soutien actif a` la cause des Stuarts en exil.

An Abstract of “The transition from Maritime Knights to Enemies of Mankind”: As seen in the stories of William Kidd and Stede Bonnet. by Ashley Riehle Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements of The Master of Arts in History The University of Toledo August 2011 This thesis will examine the way that two particular pirates were pawns in the changing political and economic world of South Carolina on the one hand and the British Empire on the other. This allows some conclusions to be drawn about the direction that the empire was taking at this time and the North American colonial participation in this transition. This shift involved legal definitions, but also involved looking at the pirates in a different way. A good example of this is the comment of Judge Nicholas Trott, who presided over the case of Stede Bonnet in South Carolina in 1718. He declared that the word pirate had once meant “a maritime knight,” but now the pirate was “a sea- rover…coasting hither and thither to do mischief.”1 The British Empire turned on those who used to be friends and the reasons for that reversal may suggest the growing power of wealth during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730).2 While the pirates were used as 1 The Tryal of Major Stede Bonnet, and Other Pirates ( London, 1719), 8-9.
