Sir Henry Morgan was a real, larger-than-life character who wreaked havoc on the Spanish during the Golden Age of Piracy. Harri Morgan was from the eminent Morgan family of Monmouthshire, who as a young boy left home to seek his fortune. How he came to arrive in the Caribbean is unclear, but he would unquestionably leave his mark on the world. He made his fortune, but while achieving this, he became a legend to the people of Jamaica and was knighted by the King of England. His expeditions to take the Spanish cities, such as Portobelo, Maracaibo, Gibraltar and Panama City, are written into folklore.
