The pirate king : the strange adventures of Henry Avery and the birth of the Golden Age of Piracy / Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan.

Kingsley, Sean, (author.). Cowan, Rex, (author.).

Summary:

'The Pirate King' is the incredible story of Henry Avery, or the Robin Hood of the Seas, who absconded with millions during the Golden Age of Piracy and who harbored an even greater secret. Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan brilliantly tie Avery to the shadowy lives of two other icons of the early 18th century, including Daniel Defoe, the world-famous novelist and - as few people know - a deep-cover spy with more than 100 pseudonyms, and Archbishop Thomas Tenison, a Protestant with a hatred of Catholic France.
