- "If you had fought like a man, you needn't be hanged like a dog."
- ―Anne Bonny speaking to Jack Rackham before his execution.[1]
Anne Bonny (8 March 1702 – 22 April 1782) was an Irish pirate born in Kingsale, Ireland during the early 18th century who operated out of the Caribbean. At some point, she had a relationship with the Assassin Edward Kenway.[2]
History
In October of 1720, Jack Rackham and his crew (including Bonny) 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 Bonny, Mary Read, and an unknown man fought to their full potential.
Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. There is no historical record of either Bonny's release, or execution.
