Bartholomew Roberts born John Robert, also known as Black Bart. He was forced into piracy when captured by another pirate. He was then elected to lead when the captain was killed a month later. Roberts was a Welsh pirate who raided shipping off the Americas and West Afrlca between 1719 and 1722. He was the most successful pirate of the "golden age of piracy", capturing far more ships than some of the best-known pirates of this era. He is estimated to have captured over 470 vessels.
In late February 1720 people of Barbados and Marinique tried to put an end to the pirate menace. Roberts swore vengence against these people and had this new flag made. The skulls represent the heads of Barbadians "ABH" and the Martiniquian head "AMH".
