Biography[]
Charles Fleury was born in Saint-Domingue, Haiti in 1669 to a family of French merchants. Fleury served in the merchant marine for a few years before becoming a pirate, as he sought to live an adventurous lifestyle with lots of plunder and riches. Fleury was based from northwestern Hispaniola, and he plundered ships belonging to Spain, Great Britain, the United Provinces, and even the Kingdom of France. In 1700, he worked with fellow pirate Benito Brasiliano to capture the Spanish Navy warship San Blas and its escort off the northern coast of Cuba.
