Robert Walsingham (pirate)
Robert Walsingham, also Wallsingham, was a famous 17th-century English pirate who served with the Barbary States.[1] He was the captain of a Turkish man-of-war, in which he finally sailed to Ireland to submit himself to the authorities.[2] He was pardoned in 1621 by James I of England, together with Henry Mainwaring with whom he had collaborated,[3] and was accepted into the Royal Navy.[1]
