    According to that image French privateering ended before two of those other things started, right?

    Am I missing something?

      I think that’s why they specified an “elderly” privateer - past their glory days.

      That‘s the reason for elderly French pirate. The people involved didn’t just disappear because privateering ended.

        I don’t think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.

          John King was somewhere from eight to eleven when he became a pirate.
