Tis a shame to exclude great women Pirates like...
Jeanne de Montfort-1343, English Channel plundering French ships, fighting with the English for Brittany’s independence. (Some list her, Jeanne de Clisson and Jane de Belleville as pirates - especially the French.)
Sadie the Goat-1800s, New York State
Grace O’Malley-1500s, Atlantic, commanded three galleys and 200 men.
Queen Artemisia of Halicarnassus-480 B.C., Mediterranean.
Princess Sela-c. 420 A.D Norwegian Viking
Mary Read, alias Mark Read-1718-1720, Caribbean.
Anne Bonny, aliases Ann Bonn and Fulford, possibly also Sarah Bonny-1719-1720, Caribbean.
And Redbeard of Lego flame.

Perhaps it is a bit unfair to compare real pirates, wanabee pirates and fictional pirates... perhaps.
Pugwash was so a paedophile.

Captain Morgan!
He didn't only chase the Spanish over the Caribbean. He didn't only sack Panama, Santiago and a hanful of other Spanish colonies. He was not only knighted and made governor of Jamaica. He not only commanded the loyalty of buccaneers and pirates. He was not only a confidant of kings and princes.
He was also a Welshman. Nuff said.

And he made one hell of a rum...
Well if I can't chose Chuck Norris, I guess it'll have to be cap'n Morgan.
How can I overlook anyone who lends their name to such dirty, cheap, dirty, tastless (did I mention dirty) rum:
