A: The four most famous pirates are in order:

- Edward Teach the "Blackbeard", who during 2 years shook the southern United States and the Caribbean. He is the most famous figure of piracy.

- Henry Morgan, who performed prodigious shipments. He managed to move from pirate to a respectable governor.

- Bartholomew Roberts, who led the career of the most successful pirate in history, plundering some 400 ships.

- Olivier Levasseur known as "La Buse" who left his cryptogram and clues etched on stones indicating the location of his treasure still missing to this day.

- William Kidd, privateer sent to the Indian Ocean to chase pirates, and turned pirate himself. He was executed and displayed in a gibbet cage.

- Anne Bonny, a very famous female pirate who had extraordinary courage and could fight better than a man when she was enraged!

- François Nau, the cruelest French pirate.
