The Royal Fortune was a Man O' War captained by the pirate and Sage Bartholomew Roberts from 1719 to 1722. Before that, the ship was known as Nosso Senhor da Compreensão, and formed a part of the Portuguese Navy.
She was captured by the pirates Roberts and Kenway in 1719, and Roberts retained control of the Royal Fortune for three years, until a vengeful Kenway pursued him to Príncipe, in search of the Crystal Skull which was in Roberts' possession. Roberts upon seeing Kenway approaching jumped from a cliff onto the Fortune to try to escape. While the Fortune was bigger and had more guns it was slower than the Jackdaw allowing Kenway to catch up with it. After reaching the open sea the Royal Fortune came under attack from the Royal Navy and Spanish Navy also after Roberts. The Jackdaw disabled the ship allowing Kenway to board the ship, kill Roberts and retrieve the skull.
