Henry Morgan
Henry Morgan was a Welsh privateer who became notorious in the late 17th century for his exploits in the Caribbean. Initially involved in legitimate trade, he turned to piracy, raiding Spanish settlements and ships, which earned him a reputation as one of the most successful privateers of his time. His actions contributed to England's colonial ambitions and led to his eventual knighthood. Morgan's legacy is immortalized through the Captain Morgan rum brand, which features his name and persona.
Born on Dec 24, 1635 (389 years old)
