The 1600s was one of the darkest centuries in recent history. War of attrition, massacres, persecution and cruelty, formed a tragic part of daily life. Children would grow up to see suspected witches burned at the sake, opponents to the government publically disembowelled, criminals hanged or broken at the wheel, or even starved dogs pitted to fight each other for the sake of entertainment. Child abuse was not unheard of and drunkenness a rampant issue, so all in all, there was no shortage in men to pass on the torch of cruelty. And all of this, in the so-called Golden Age of Piracy.
