[Eustace the Monk]

Well done! I noticed you online the other day and was thrilled that someone used that name. She, along with Mary Reed were quite the duo. In one instance, Anne Bonney "showed herself" to a male that she had beaten in a duel, so his dying memory would be that he had lost to a woman.

Many of the popular names have been blocked from use on the system. I am happy you were able to get yours. I attempted to use the name Eustace the Monk, but was denied, which is when I opted for Eustace D'Monk. Much like Anne, Eustace was a real-world pirate. Much unlike Anne, Eustace was male and sailed in the 1200's in Europe. Many of his exploits were used in the creation of Robin Hood, as he was fond of disguises.

Eustace was betrayed by one Rennaud de Dammartin (Who is my alt that is being built for PvP). It is fun to use historical pirates names in the game, as well as historical figures.

Originally, I was going to use Chang Poa, but the guidelines stated that non-English words would not be allowed (though they allowed Rennaud de Dammartin). Chang Poa was a Lieutenant under Ching Li, one of the most powerful female pirates in history, controlling the entire coast of China, at one point. Chang Poa was her adopted son, whom she ended up marrying. In one writing, Ching Li was reported to rule a fleet of 1200 ships.

On another note, I was going to use Calico Jack or Jack Rackham as a name, but decided against it. In fact, the flag (jolly roger) used in the POTC movies on the Pearl and logos was actually the one that was used by Calico Jack. Glad you picked the name you chose and look forward to Anne becomming the terror of the high seas.

Loot Hard!
