Stede Bonnet was born into a wealthy English family on the island of Barbados in 1688. He had money, land and eventually a wife and children. But in 1717, at the age of 29, he turned to a life of crime on high seas to become a pirate of the Caribbean. And because of his status before turning to piracy, he became known as "the gentleman pirate". But being a gentleman and being a pirate were two completely different ways of life, and the contradiction lead to many challenges for Captain Bonnet. From mutiny, to betrayal, to capture by the authorities, Stede found the excitement that he was looking for...and eventually lived to regret it.
Join us as we explore the very strange life of a very unusual character that lived a double life during the golden age of piracy. Learn of his misadventures, his friendship with the famed pirate Blackbeard, and his legacy after he died.
