Hello All,
The topic of Pirates at Renaissance events has been breached on
another list, and it has me wondering...
What would pirates or privateers of the English Renaissance looked like?
I know what images of George Clifford, the "privateering" Earl looks
like. I know what images of Raleigh, and Drake are like, but what
would everyday privateers, pirates, or even basic seamen look like
during the Elizabethan era?
Thanks,
I was just looking at "Vecellio's Book of Costumes"(??) and it has
several seafaring men depicted. I don't imagine pirates would be any
different. It's a Dover book - I may have the title wrong, but the
words "Vecellio" and "Costume" are in the title I'm certain.

Thanks for the Books of Hours BTW - lovely.
