Peter Beckford (1643-1710) was a wealthy English landowner and, at one point, acting Governor of Jamaica. At the time of his death, he was considered the wealthiest land and slave owner in the entirety of Europe.

During his lifetime, he was an avid collector of historic artefacts, including such items as the Voynich manuscript. Following his death, the pirate named Edward Kenway collected a large amount of artefacts, including the Voynich manuscript, which had been lost by the Beckford estate after Peter's death.
