| | 13 Nov 2008 04:36 PM | | I was born the son of a servant.
I began my career in the slave trade, but was accused of murder and fled for my life.
Eventually I became the most wanted pirate in England, but dazzled the nobility of continental Europe and was even given the rank of Chevalier, and a gold encrusted sword by his Majesty the King of France.
I was nominated for the rank of Admiral in my own navy, but eventually rejected for conflict of personalities. However, a different country offered me the position of Major General, and then promoted me to Rear Admiral.
My adventures took me from the Caribbean to the North Atlantic, from the frozen Baltic to the Middle East.
Overall, I served in over 4 different navies (1 was the merchant fleet) - witnessing at least 3 different conflicts - involving more than 5 belligerents.
Who am I?
