@saltywalt I found this and would like to bring it up: As Lee Hays noted, it is often difficult to determine whether a ballad character is a hero or a bandit. Henry Martin is not the bloody pirate of standard fiction, but a rather sweet fellow (almost a seafaring Robin Hood) who turns pirate not for mere gain but to "maintain his two brothers and he".
But many people are on the side of the merchant ship sailors and the people of London

@musicbox193
I would say so. He had no letters of mark, and was jacking ships to get money "for his brothers and he". It sounds like Pirate 101 to me.
