The Royal Sovereign was one of five legendary ships encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the early 18th century. She was the sister ship of HMS Fearless; both were identical, save for the reversed coloring of their sails and hull. They could be found sailing beyond the Bahamas, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
History[edit | edit source]
The Royal Sovereign and her twin ship became notorious for sailing in tandem and for their tactics in naval warfare. They could flank an enemy ship, surrounding her from both sides, and fire upon her with devastating power. If either the Fearless or the Royal Sovereign was sunk, the other one would set herself alight and use her maneuverability to viciously ram the opposing ship. Despite their tandem battle strategies and impressive firepower, both ships were eventually sunk by Kenway's Jackdaw.[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
