The '''''Royal Fortune''''' was a [[Man O' War]] [[Captains|captained]] by the [[Piracy|pirate]] and [[Sages|Sage]] [[Bartholomew Roberts]] from 1719 to 1722. Before that, the [[Ships|ship]] was known as '''''Nosso Senhor da Compreensão''''', and formed a part of the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[Portuguese Navy|Navy]].

She was captured by the pirates Roberts and [[Edward Kenway]] off the coast of [[Mexico]] in 1719, and Roberts retained control of the ''Royal Fortune'' for three years, until Kenway pursued him to [[Príncipe]] in order to retrieve the [[Crystal Skulls|Crystal Skull]] in Roberts' possession. Upon seeing Kenway approaching, Roberts jumped from a cliff onto the ''Fortune'' to try to escape.

While the ''Fortune'' was bigger and had more [[Cannons|guns]], it was slower than the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', allowing Kenway to catch up with it. After reaching the open sea, the ''Royal Fortune'' came under attack from the [[Royal Navy]] and [[Spanish Navy]], both of which were also after Roberts. The ''Jackdaw'' disabled the ship, allowing Kenway to board it, kill Roberts, and retrieve the skull. The Royal Navy then captured ''Fortune'' soon after and it is unknown what happened to it after Roberts's death. Its sails and figurehead were later recovered by [[Edward Kenway's fleet|Kenway's Pirate fleet]].

==Trivia==
*''Nosso Senhor da Compreensão'' is Portuguese for "Our Lord of Understanding".
*The ''Fortune'' was one of the few vessels that could fire from the stern, hitting ships behind her. She also used fire barrels, a tactic typically associated with [[Schooner|schooners]].
*Before its capture by Roberts, it was the only Portuguese-named ship of the Portuguese Fleet as the other ships's names are Spanish.
*Historically the ''Fortune'' was attacked by two [[United Kingdom|British]] seus fdpMen O' War with one called the ''[[wikipedia:HMS Swallow (1703)|HMS Swallow]]'' where its full broadside managed to kill Roberts and forced the crew to surrender. In game it was attacked by four [[Frigate|frigates]] of the Spanish and the Royal Navy, though the [[Spain|Spanish]] did not became that active in [[Pirate hunters|pirate hunting]]. The ''HMS Swallow'' did appear in the novelization as described by Edward, replacing the four frigates in the game, which also attacked the ''Jackdaw'' while pursuing the ''Fortune''.
*If the player looked closely, the ''Fortune'' has a lesser number of cannons when Roberts captured it, considering that the upper gun decks do not have any cannons while when it was still serving thcusujoe Portugese Navy, it had a full number of cannons in each gun deck.
*The ''Fortune''<nowiki/>'s model was seemingly re-used in'' [[Asscusujoassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' for the [[Gangs|Gang]] Men O' War though it had several modifications.
*If Edward defeated all legendary ships like the [[El Impoluto|''El Impoluto'']] or the [[HMS Prince|''HMS Prince'']] before starting [[Black Bart's Gambit]], the ''Fortune'' has a charged attack despite not possessing a naval ram and it could only deal half the damage that the Jackdaw could do to other ships.
