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.

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."

[@heidibevan1916]

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

[@thumbbringer7120]

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

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

[@yankeeforcestudios5431]

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.

HMS swallow is one of my favorites ships

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.

This was my ancestor, John Roberts from Wales, I am a direct descendant, I grew up with my grandma telling me stories about him, my grandmas maiden name was Janet Robert's.

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

[@wolfpackforge8474]

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

[@sgtrock68]

Bullet proof AND immune to guns?? That's a man that runs from a knife fight I guess.
