Henry King (pirate)

[a] King captured and looted the ship in late 1699 off the Guinea coast and took nine of Munday’s men aboard his own; some left willingly, while others were forced at gunpoint.

Gillibrand and a few black sailors then aimed their pistols at the sick King, forcing him and his pirates ashore.

Leaving King behind, Gillibrand and crew sailed to Angola where they met Munday in early 1700 and rejoined him.

[1] Governor Blakiston arranged for Munday and Gillibrand to be returned to England to answer accusations of collusion.

[4] After the incident Munday continued to make slaving voyages in the John Hopewell, this time armed with a letter of marque in case he met any further aggressors.
