So just wonder who everyones favorite pirates are? Doesn't matter if they are real or from a book or a movie.
Mine are Calico Jack & my Ladiedragon ;)
Hmmm... I have more than one favorite!
Bartholemew Roberts
Anne Bonney, and Mary Read..
My favorites are Calico Jack and Henry Avery, but so far I haven't met a pirate I haven't liked. :)

That's cuz up pirates is such and endearing bunch, eh? ;)
The Dread Pirate Roberts! How could I ever forget him? Ha! :o
Jack, Barbossa (he grows on you), and Captain Shakespeare from the movie Star Dust, Captain Blood. Non-Fiction - Calico Jack, Anne Bonney & Mary Read, Drake.
HENRY MORGAN
He was Welsh. Need I say more? ;)
Blackbeard, because recent evidence is showing there was a much more complex individual behind the legends; Charles Vane, because the guy had style; and William Dampier, for his contributions as a scientist/philosopher/buccaneer.
Historically speaking I'd go with...
Bartholomew Roberts
Edward Teach (Blackbeard)
And...
Jean Lafitte..."The Hero of New Orleans"...

HENRY MORGAN

I agree with Morgan! He also retired from piracy! Drake is a close second!
For fiction: Ioz from Pirates of Darkwater!
Captain Feathersword!!!!!! ;) :D
Seriously, I admire Grace O'Malley, Headbutt Sally, and the Sailor Nun.
Henry Morgan, Black Bart Roberts, and Calico Jack.
OK, so when I was a kid, and Million Dollar Movie used to play the same movie all weekend long, 24-7,
I musta watched THe Crimson Pirate a hundred times. So I would say Capt Valoes, aka Burt Lancaster.
Black Bart Roberts, Ching Shih (Madame Ching) and Henry Jennings.
In the movies - Davy Jones & Hector Barbossa.
Molden ;D :-*
Captains Graybeard and Pyros the Red. ;D

Wenchie
this is frightening, he is my favorite also. I'm getting afraid.. very afraid. The best one I think was the version in the Black Swan done by Laird Creager.
It is my intent someday to find a costumer who will view that film and make me a costume that matches from that. Creager and I have about that physique and I think I can bluster the same way he did, so..........
