Mary Read (unknown – 1721) was an English pirate and member of the Assassin Order, trained by the Mentor of the Caribbean Assassins, 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, while she was sailing as a part of Jack Rackham's crew, their ship 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, Anne Bonny, 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 at the time, since British law prevented pregnant women from being executed. The two were rescued by Edward Kenway and Ah Tabai, though Mary died from sickness after her child was born. What happened to her child remains unknown.
