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, going by the false name of Jean.[2]
During the expedition, Cassard raided many of the European powers' colonies, including the British colonies of Montserrat and Antigua.[3] The expedition proved to be a success, with the total plunder of the expedition amounting to ten million pounds. While Cassard was satisfied with the service of his men, he lamented the uncivilized behaviour of some of them, predicting that they would return to their criminal lives once they returned to France.[4]
