My earliest known ancestor James Myng was the captain of the vessel Henry Morgan served on in the anglo Spanish war. They were acting as privateers (condoned piracy) against the Spanish. At some point they were enlisted with the broader navy for a big battle. My ancestor was killed, shot in the throat by a pistol, there after the crew disbanded. That’s what a copy of the official documents that I saw said anyway. I guess my side is but a branch of that tree. The name changed for easier spelling/reading and my branch of the family landed in Bermuda in 1701.

I am currently writing a term paper on Henry Morgan and wanted to ask if any of you could recommend some good secondary literature. Most of it is popular literature besides Exquemelin and Malthus. Thanks in advance :)

Exquemelin was clearly just another buthurt Frenchman who resented serving under a Brit so said he used nuns as human shields

You forgot to mention Morgan’s raid on a Spanish outpost called Gran Grenada,(1663).Aftersailing 500 miles across the Caribbean Sea, apparently, one of the 17th century’s most extraordinary smash-and-grabs. It’s also worth noting,that, this is how is the biggest empire the world has ever seen started🇬🇧

<<@erichurst7897

Supposedly, my family is distantly related to him. Though, seeing as how he was the Lt. Gov. of Jamaica during the Golden Age of Piracy, and was a "Privateer", there's probably a lot of families with that claim...

I'm panamanian, the city was burnt by order of the Governor and the gold altar of the church was painted in brown to mask its gold and moved out of the city before the pirates arrived. Nowadays it sits in another church built in the second city mentioned in the video a few miles to the west.

I don't know if this is helpful at all, but the images used at the end to talk about the ruins of Panama and how it was never rebuilt are wrong. That is still Fuerte San Lorenzo in Colon, in the Atlantic side. The city of Panama (now called Panama Viejo, or Old Panama), were in the Pacific side. I just wonder why you didn't use actual images of Panama Viejo. Also, it has been confirmed now (in fact, a few years ago) that it was the governor of Panama who ordered the city be burned down rather than see it fall into the hands of Morgan.

Boarded a British navy ship to fight in the Anglo-Spanish war. Does anyone not realise how stupid of a sentence that is? Seeing how the Welsh are the native British and they fought against most people the English did. So why the term Anglo?!!! The Welsh arent Anglos, neither are the Scots.
