I've been so busy with Facebook and MySpace that I forgot about Renspace.

May the wind be at your back,

Captain Barshot and his first mate Jenny

I was born August 13th 1550 in a small hovel near the Calore Irpino river, several hours walk from Campania.

I lived with my Grandmother, Mother and Sister. All were worshippers of Aradia before the church had them burned as witches. My Father was killed in a battle when I was an infant.

I learned the skills of a fisherman and a sailor, then upon hearing about of the War between Spain/catholic church and England I signed on as a Privateer. I'd enjoy nothing more than relieving the church of their gold and killing their priests for the sins they visited on my family.

After Sir Fancis Drake left the Carribean for other adventures, I comandeered a Spanish ship, renamed her the Dancing Muse (after my sister) and got busy plundering other Spanish ships to this day.

So I have papers signed by the Queen of England, sailing under the British flag, ridding the seas of those damned Spaniards and the church.

That is the story of my life. May the winds be at your back.
