Henry Every: The King of Pirates
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Most pirates catch a big score before being caught themselves. During the Golden Age of Piracy, most pirates met their fate at the end of a rope or the bottom of the sea.
Today, we tell you about the exception. This is story of Henry Every: the pirate who robbed more than $500,000 in riches and got away with it.

Wealth, fame, power. Henry Avery King of the Pirates achieved this and everything else the world had to offer
One piece
And he left it all in one piece😭😭
and his dying words drove countless souls to the sea in search of dreams greater than they'd ever dared to imagine.
Ey yo eyyy yoo. Gotta get the One Piece.
and where's Laugh tale
On his execution, Avery said: “My Treasure? Why I left it all in that one place.”
Wealth, fame, power. Henry Every the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the World had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas. “You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered Together in one place. Now you just have to find it!
I'm already hearing the intro and I can't help but say.....ONE PIECE!!!! DUHDUHDUHDUUDUDUH DUH DUH NUH NUNUNUNUH!!!!
COME ABOARD, AND BRING ALONG ALL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
Arittake no yume wo kaki atsume
Sagashi-mono wo sagashi ni yuku no sa
ONE PIECE!
Knew someone would’ve done this
YAAYOO!
YAA!
YOO!
I love that Uncharted starts with real people and events that make the foundation for their fiction. And even their fiction is based on folklore of the time. Really helps to ground the story!
I just started the story and its really good.
@@hassanmazza1831 enjoy the games! I wish I could play the series for the first time again!
And then there's One Piece where a Japanese man who studied way too much pirate history names all his characters after historical pirates.
@Ged Woulfe Not only is that not even remotely true, but Edward Teach's name is split between Blackbeard and Whitebeard. Whitebeard's name is Edward Newgate (Using the historical Blackbeard's given name) and Blackbeard's is Marshal Teach (Using the historical Blackbeard's surname).
@Ged Woulfe uhh… Bellamy is based on Sam Bellamy, Charlotte Linlin on Charlotte badger, jewlery bonny on Anne bonny, laffite on jean laffite, eustass captain kid on William captain Kidd, X drake on sir Francis drake and the list just goes on and on and on. Pretty much every crew ends up having a pirate based on real world origins besides the straw hats.
You guys missed out the part when he founded Libertalia with Thomas Tew
Damn right
A man of fortune
And Libertalia’s fate 👍🏽
Im a Sic parvis magna nerd too 🤓
I mean yeah, but it wasn’t just from Uncharted. Avery founded a pirate city. In real life.
Norrington: "You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of"
Jack: "But you have heard of me"
Go watch the video on Calico Jack.
Not gonna lie, he's got a point.
i loved that reply so much best film series ever
@@ahmedayachi5889 best film series ever 😳 😆😂🤣
"I am a man of fortune, and I must seek my fortune." -Henry Avery
Wise words to live by!!!
_Sounds like that thot, Emily from Bering Sea Gold._
Uncharted 4 theme intensifies
"Fortune favors the bold." -- Virgil, The Illiad
That quote is wrong you know. It's "Jam a man of fortune and J must seek my fortune"
Luffy: I’m going to be king of the pirates!
Henry: lol
I was going to say, i didnt know "Monkey D. Luffy" could be spelled "Henry Every"
"oh,how cute,your foolish attempt to become better than me is useless"
Damn you beat me to the joke😂
Luffy's shio would get wrecked by a first rate irl
A fair wind t'ya !
He probably went to Tahiti, cause his crew has got faith.
I get it
At least he had a plan and muhney
We need money
He retired early due to chronic Lumbago.
He HAD A PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
As The History Guy always says - "Don't all good stories involve pirates?"
As John Green used to say - "Except if you are the Mongols."
Or aliens.
@@BenjaminKeller And then that Mongols battle snippet plays.
yea look at one piece
What a crazy life to live. Can you imagine the things this man has seen and done. It's unimaginable lol. Crazy how people like Henry Avery didn't even know that far into the future he would be considered one of the greatest pirates in history.
"Every eventually won out as he had the biggest ship."
"It probably didn't hurt that Every's ship was the most powerful in hundreds of miles."
He had that BIG SHIP ENERGY
bse ftw
Avery
I thought it's Gol D Roger who was the pirate king all this time.
You thought! Ha!
Well, even after what... 1 million episodes😡 it sure the hell isn't Luffy yet.
@@kamron_thurmond yea it gonna be shanks
Who?
who?
Indeed Henry Avery was undoubtedly the king of pirates but the character who inspires Gol D Roger is a French pirate: Olivier Levasseur who had amassed 4.5 billion euros. Before his hanging in public place he threw a cryptograme in the crowd shouting: "My treasure will be with whoever takes it". And since no one has ever found it ...
ive learned more history from this man in the past 2 days binging his videos than my entire life, thanks Simon!
Same
Henry Avery seems to parallel Luffy more than Rogers. Came from a prominent family, started sea travelling when he was young, a grand alliance vs a big superpower (Straw Hat Grand Fleet) and finding the greatest treasure ever.
We know very litle about Roger even now .. we know he's the pirate kind (was) but we still don't know where he came from and his backgrounds.
@@heldertorres4296 Well, we know he came from Loguetown
@@sausage5033 yes true ..but do you know is background or how he lived ?
Sam and Nathan drake are still looking for his treasure
Nolan North and Tom Holland gots this
They found it could not retrieve it. Uncharted 4
Well it's probably beyond reach now
@@DanielTxRib well when you remember Nolan North is Deadpool and Tom is spidey , maybe eventually they'll get it ( also i haven't played UnchARted 4 yet lol_
The treasure was the lesson and the bond of family..... obv
A man so epic and badass that people made an entire plot line for a video game about him.
Already an entire anime
What about an episode of the greatest pirate in all of history; the pirate queen Madame Ching.
She literally had her own pirate army, held China hostage, and got away with all of it.
Is that the chick who made visiting dignitaries eat her out and if she didn’t like it killed them?
@@Celtic_Blade I doubt it.
TSCTH there was a Chinese queen of some sort that did that but I can never remember which one.
She wasn’t really a pirate, not in the traditional sense. More like a local warlord.
so she was inspired by Big Mom?
Hes The Man Who Have Reach Grandline And Get "King Of Pirate" Title
Fun Fact: His last words were: "My treasure? You cana have it. But, you have to find it first! I left everything I own ... in One Piece!"
So when are we going to get the Biographics episode on Simon Whistler
@DillyDyson007 cringe
Nur115 El. Indeed
He’s gonna make into an hour long doc
Seems more suitable to BLAZE through it
That would be absolutely hilarious, to have Simon orate his own biography written by someone else. I would definitely watch that. If not on this channel than on Business Blaze, as one of those off-topic things.
"Jam a man of fortune and j must seek my fortune" - Henry Averies, 1994
Pepega Clap
Pvc approved
Thats the quote when you start Uncharted 4! I just started the game that's why I'm watching this video
Aerobics I see you have also joined the dark side
“Unless Charles Johnson personally met Henry Every at some point, it is almost certainly a complete fabrication” Maybe Johnson actually WAS Every
That is what I am thinking. He became Charles Johnson after retiring.
Luffy arrives at laghtale and find Every smoking the last of Rogers stash
So the status of “King of Pirates” has already achieved
Clicked for the one piece comments lmao
Best comment i've ever seen on RUclips
Same
Wasn't disappointed
@Alphabyte Music
So! No FLCL reference for Pirate King Atomsk. Right?
I clicked for Uncharted
But what devil fruit did he use? Or was he a haki user solely?
Clearly a master of Conqueror’s
This is an amazing tale and I am surprised that I've never heard it before. It makes me realize that I have a western hemisphere and North American bias to my pirate knowledge. Aside from Captain Kidd who's tale is like a mirror of this story gone terribly wrong, I was not aware of many Indian Ocean pirates. Good news, I have a lot of fun reading to do.
Guess you’ve never heard of uncharted 4
@@Kadeo-ms6qw yessss this is what i was gona say
@@Kadeo-ms6qw I have not. Then again I haven't even thought about getting my history lessons from video games. I can't believe all the time I've wasted with books. I'm sure I would have more fun playing uncharted.
Herbert Gearing well it’s not exactly a history lesson but it certainly opens the door to deeper research. That’s one of the reasons I love video games
Check out the pirate queen Ching Shih! One of the most successful pirates ever maybe because she commanded an ENORMOUS fleet of tens of thousands of pirates and like Every, she got away with it!
Stede Bonnet!!! the midlife crisis gentleman pirate.
Could you do an episode on Cheng Shih, The "Queen of Pirates"? That would be pretty dope
I second this 😀
I thought he did? I could be wrong tho
@@ericfogle4965 He didn't
Haven’t heard of them. Sounds cool. 👍
Henry Avery and Chong shih are not relatable
we have Henry Every
but when are we getting a biographic of Every Henry
Simon: "this alone made him worthy of the sobriquet, 'the king of the pirates' "
Luffy: "Gomu gomu no...."
JET PISTOLE
Pssh, weeaboos.
@@Elyseon you'll come over to the light side eventually xD
"How do you measure the success of a pirate?"
One word, Simon: booty. B)
does she have a rolling stern and doop tangles of billowed mainsils... yar , she loved to slap that rudder about tbh.
Shake dat !
These c's are heaving

THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!
1:10 - Chapter 1 - Early years
3:50 - Chapter 2 - A pirate's life for me
8:40 - Chapter 3 - The biggest heist in pirate history
14:25 - Chapter 4 - Aftermath & disappearance
Plot twist... his name was Henry D Every and he was Gold Roger’s father and Ace’s grandpa... 🤯🤣
Or Rock's Brother
GREAT. Do a story about Thomas Tew. The Rhode Island pirate. Discovered the "Pirate Round"
In terms of his cultural afterlife, Henry Avery not only showed up in Doctor Who during the Matt Smith era, but helped to inspire the funniest book ever written, namely George MacDonald Fraser's 'The Pyrates' - not bad going, yes?
As soon as I saw The King of Pirates in the title I checked the comments for One Piece reference before even watching the video. Very satisfied! 😌
A biographics on the entire east india company would be cool
You won't find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I thought Captain Morgan was the King of Pirates, he's certainly the King of Rum.
Man you need to taste more rum.
🤮🤮🤮
“I am a man of fortune and I must seek my fortune.”
Absolutely loving the content Simon, keep up the good work 😃
Do one on the most successful pirate in history, a Chinese female pirate who commanded over 1,800 ships and 80,000+ men - Ching Shih. The Red Flag Fleet under her rule went undefeated, despite multiple attempts by the Portuguese navy, the Chinese government, and the East India Company to vanquish it. She retired by making a deal with the government, lived to enjoy her riches, and died at an old age.
Damn that's impressive. This is the first time I ever heard of her.
@@TheItalianTrash I was shocked when I learned about her too. It's surprising how there's basically no coverage of her while Blackbeard & friends are covered so extensively.
@@samfong4658 I'm not too surprised. Ching Shih simply falls outside of Western Culture. Most US citizens are taught a Eurocentric and romanticized history of piracy that only took place in the Caribbean during the early 18th century.
I'm loving these pirate videos!
Then you will also love a anime called one piece
@@factsshooter790 the art style was difficult to get passed to be honest.
"J am a man of fortune & J must seek my fortune"
- Henry Avery 1994
Henry Every "I'm the king of the pirates!" Henry Morgan, "Hold my rum, and watch this mon!"
I though gold Rodgers was king
Wealth, fame, power. The man who had acquired everything in the world, the Pirate King, Gold Roger. The final words that were said at his execution sent the people to the seas.
Gold Roger: "My wealth and treasure? If you want it, I'll let you have it. Look for it, I left it all at that place!"
Men now, chasing their dreams, head towards the Grand Line. The world now enters a Great Pirate era!
Que We Are
A lot of the pirate of Onepi are based on real life figures. While Gol D Rodger origins are debated one suggestion is it was based on Henry Every. Very much like Every, Gol Rodger was never captured. But instead turned himself in while his hoard of treasure still remained hidden.
Billy bones
It was Gol D. Roger
Actually it was my dog Joy Boy who was the one who founded one piece
Every is really close to my last name. You know how names when people moved to the colonies got changed. Maybe that is where he disappeared. Well, I am sticking to that tale.
Luffy will become king of the pirates
A real life King of the Pirates....wow.....😮
"Hey Phil, what should we use for music on this episode about the King of Pirates? Some baroque? A couple sea shanties perhaps?"
"Nah bro, 70's rock"
*Henry Every* : I am King of the Pirates
*Luffy* : Hold my Straw Hat
Interesting video. I've heard that Henry Every (Avery) had kidnapped a Mughal princess (daughter of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb) and held her for ransom. There's a striking early 20th century painting of this by John Ward Dunsmore.
That Title now belongs To the Future King Monkey D. Luffy
Avery laughs in pirateese
I will not stop asking. Please make more videos covering the people in the American Civil War, for example;
Thomas Jackson, better known as Stonewall
General William T. Sherman, who I really couldnt say anything about without someone getting pissed
Confederate President Jefferson Davies
Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who commanded the first African-American Regiment in the Civil War
Ulysses S. Grant, who needs no introduction
Etc.
I just wish there were more videos that tackled the people in the Civil War on your channel
Lewis Armistead who led Pickett’s Charge, JEB Stuart, James Longstreet...so many bios he could do
Please also cover Native American/First Nations people.
Didn't Robert E Lee do some pretty crazy things too? I remember his name for being one of the important people in a certain battle.
Maybe, make your own channel? :)
@@mentalpopcorn2304 there already is a video on Robert E. Lee on this channel if you'd like to learn more about him
Uncharted 4 Fans: So he is real!
Amazing story. I love hearing pirate stories.
I always liked the story about Henry Avery. One big score, that would set you for life and if the story is to be believed, he succeeded in that. As thus, escaped the noose and becomed legend.
The rape and torture was uncalled for though
@@beno1129 pirates remain pirates I guess
I love this channel so much! Pleaseeeeee do a video on Prince Philippe of France, brother of the Sun King
The background music is so distracting 😭
In addition to being distracting, it's also completely unnecessary. It's like having someone run into a classroom playing a musical instrument while the instructor is trying to speak.
Take your Adderall kid
Yes, agree. The Sound editor should be made to walk the plank after this episode!
I don't mind background music but the only way I can describe this was a funky groove 😂😂😂
10:25 bhangra music playing while mughal ships getting attacked by pirates, super weird
Skip to the end of this video. Press replay. Enjoy your ad free content.
European nations: we have you outnumbered everybody to 1
France: i like those odds
*napoleon sneeking through like a teaser of future history:* i like those odds too!
Yessss!!! More pirates!
Just one little thing though, the music on this video was a little louder than usual, which made it more challenging to focus on the content. I would suggest to tone the music down, maybe a lower volume or just slower tunes might work better!
Damn, the 4Kids dub really got boring in the later years.
"Sanji's cookin, choppers doctoring"
@@thedoubleleafturtwig gaigo gaigooo
And Luffy still never going to be king of the Pirates... maybe in another 1 million episodes something will happen.
@@kamron_thurmond He's actually getting pretty close. I'd say maybe like 300 chapters until he finds it, then maybe like 100 until the story ends.
@@aaaaaa-gq3dv I'll believe it when it happens, but the sun might have burned out by then.
Simon the goat everything I look up I always find a video he’s made. And I’m glad cause he is a very captivating storyteller.
How is this not already the best pirate biopic ever?!
Cant believe he came the king of pirates without a devil fruit
* Sees concept art from Uncharted 4 on the thumbnail *: ah, a channel of culture.
I love, love, LOVE watching this channel (& it's other sister channels too of course!) You guys really do such an amazing job with practically every video. 👍😀 I must say I am having one hell of a time trying to concentrate on what is being said tho due to the quarky music playing in the background! Lol I getting sooo distracted. Just me? Ha!
"king of the pirates?"
LUFFY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
You named a ship "exceeding treasure" and expected it not to get robbed. Lovely
I got interested in his treasure after playing Uncharted 4. Now im learning his history. I thought Libertalia is made up by Naughty Dog. It isn't, now i seek Avery's treasure. If i ever grow up.
Libertaila is made up tho?
@@risen1710 Historical fact has a basis in myth and legends. There could be a hidden pirate utopia somewhere. Remember, the Earth isn't 100% explored by man. Only by satellite. There's a reason why lost temples are still being found today.
@@rogue_sebass8770His 400 million dollar worth treasure is almost certainly real, we just don't know it's location. However it's impossible that Libertalia exists the way it's shown in Uncharted 4 since people would've found it already.
We finally know what happened to Henry. It turns out that Henry became a spy for William the 3rd.
luffy is about to take that title
Cool vid, are you thinking of doing a vid on Josephine Baker in the near future?
Benjamin Hornigold next for a pirate bio?
I think "Amity" might be the most ironic name for a pirate ship ever.
"what do we do with a drunken sailor? what do we do with a drunken sailor? earl-y in the morning..."
Great video!
Stopped reading comments because of the “waiting/looking for one piece comments”
Uncharted 4 brought me here to learn more about Henry Every: The King of Pirates.
Who else listened to the whole thing without hearing a word ol mate was saying? 🤣
Here because of the Oden flashback damn man roger gained everything and laughed.
Gol D. Roger was an inspiration by Henry Every as The King of Pirates in One Piece
It's Teach who was apparently suppose to originally have Every as his inspiration. Apparently his original name was suppose to be "Everything D. Teach"
As a Plymothian I'm surprised I've never heard of him, but I suppose when you're up against Sir Frances Drake, Robert Falcon Scott, Tom Daley and Dwwn French there's a lot to compete with...
Read the book “Enemy of All Mankind “.
its really cool to think his ship is still out there sunk or hidden rotting away waiting for someone to find it
Loved this one! Some more ideas for Pirate vids:
Henry Morgan: The Pirate Governor of Jamaica(maybe a reference to Captain Morgan Rum lol)
Bartholomew “Black Bart” Roberts: The Gentleman Pirate With 400 Ships
Charles Vane
William Kidd
Benjamin Hornigold
Robert Maynard: The Officer Who Killed Blackbeard
DillyDyson007 Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Black Sam Bellamy, and Francois L’Olonnais, and now Henry Every are the pirates that have been done.
Top 5 for sure. Not sure if he’s the best but he’s for sure up there. A legend
Well Simon, pirates are mostly measured by the size of their beard.
whitebeard didnt have a beard
@@kettlepotcorporations3891 If you knew the famous Guybrush Threepwood you would know how important is for a pirate to have a beard.
@@kettlepotcorporations3891 he had a glorious moostache
World: "EVERY!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!"
Henry Every: *Under Patrick's rock*
It's incorrect to use 'the' in front of HMS. It means His/Her Majesty's Ship. You wouldn't call it The His Majesty's Ship.
Actually it depends on who is leading the British Empire at the time.
Jam a man of fortune, and J must seek my fortune.

Luffy;
Hold my Strawhat..
Do a biographic on John Colter! The first westerner to have seen Yellowstone, a true mountain man, and was an explorer on the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The most successful pirate or outlaw is the one that gets away.
Simon, my favorite remark has to be Pirates don't get participation trophies! May I use it as a bumper sticker. I love your presentations you are a very talented presenter and so I say thank you.
