# Charles Swan

> Charles Swan was a reluctant buccaneer. Captain Swan was forced into piracy by his crew in the 1680s, and proceeded to write letters to the owners of his ship Cygnet in London, begging them to intercede with James II of England for his pardon—even as he looted his way up and down the coastal areas of South America.
