Jacques Cassard (1679 – 1740) was a privateer and French Navy admiral during the early 18th century. In 1711, Cassard embarked on an expedition to the West Indies, intending to plunder the territories of France's enemies in the War of the Spanish Succession.[1] Setting sail from Toulon, his crew included the criminal Alonzo Batilla, then going by the false name of Jean.[2]
During the expedition, Cassard raided many of the European powers' colonies,[3] including the British Empire's colonies of Montserrat and Antigua.[4] The expedition proved to be a success, with the total plunder amounting to £10 million. While Cassard was satisfied with his mens' service, he lamented their uncivilized behavior, predicting that they would return to their criminal lives once they returned to France.[5]
