'''Alexander Spotswood''' (c. 1676 – 6 June 1740) was the Lieutenant-Governor of [[Virginia (state)|Virginia]] from 1710 to 1722.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Spotswood became the governor of Virginia in 1710, and was aware of the [[piracy]] taking place around his colony. He soon grew increasingly concerned with the threat to economic transactions by pirates both near the colony and overseas.<ref name="ACI">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' - "Chasing the Pirates"</ref><br />
<br />
Spotswood had supposedly received several complaints from [[North Carolina]] merchants and traders, as well as reports of pirates planning to build fortifications at [[Ocracoke]]. Realizing that North Carolina's governor, [[Charles Eden]], had neither the resources nor the will to hunt the pirates, Spotswood put it upon himself to end their activities.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
Spotswood viewed [[Edward Thatch]], known as Blackbeard, as the main threat. Thus, the governor gave orders to keep track of the movements and activities of the pirate's ship, the ''[[Queen Anne's Revenge]]''.<ref name="ACI"/> Spotswood organized a party to "extipate this nest of vipers". In November 1718, the governor paid Lieutenant [[Robert Maynard]] to hunt down Blackbeard. Maynard successfully ambushed and killed the pirate on 22 November.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Two days later, Spotswood issued a proclamation offering a reward for the capture, conviction or killing of pirates.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
