Henry Paye (died 1419), also known as Harry, Page or Arripaye (to the Spanish), was a privateer and smuggler from Poole, Dorset in the late 14th and early 15th century, who became a commander in the Cinque Ports fleet.
He intercepted hundreds of French ships for gold, wine, exotic fruits and brought it back to the people of Poole.
Paye led naval raids along the coast of France and Spain from Normandy through to the Bay of Biscay and Cape Finisterre.
[1] He also helped quell the Welsh revolts brought about by Owain Glyndŵr, defeating a French fleet sent to aid the uprising.
The attackers looted arms and stores and set fire to a warehouse before they were driven back to their ships by the townspeople.
