Mary Read (unknown – 1721) was an English pirate and member of the Assassin Order, trained by the Mentor Ah Tabai.
She posed as a male pirate under the name of James Kidd, an illegitimate son of the late William Kidd, and was one of the founding members of the pirate republic at Nassau.
In October of 1720, Jack Rackham and his crew (including Mary) was attacked by a "King's Ship", a sloop that was commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica, with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, yet Mary Read and an unknown man fought to their full potential.
Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. Bonny and Read were only spared that fate because they were pregnant and thus British law prevented them from being executed. There is no historical record of either Bonny's release, or execution.
