"Bartholomew Roberts' Pirate Flag" Bartholomew Roberts (17 May 1682 - 10 February 1722), born John Roberts, was a Welsh pirate who was, measured by vessels captured, the most succe ssful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy. During his piratical career, he took over 470 prize ships. Roberts raided ships off the Americas and the West African coast between 1719 and 1722; he is also noted for creating his own pirate code, and adopting an early variant of the Skull and Crossbones flag. To this day, Roberts continues to feature in popular culture, and has inspired fictional characters (such as the Dread Pirate Roberts). This flag is one of several flags used by Roberts. As described in Johnson's General History, "it had the figure of a skeleton in it, and a man portrayed with a flaming sword in his hand, intimating a defiance of death itself."
