Well, mateys, I started plunderin’ a TV documentary series that explores the theory that Pyrates are “descendants” of the Knights Templar.

I will save you the trouble of plunderin’ this on yer own…

Did 17th century pyrates originate (somehow?) in or from the Knights Templar organization?

In a word, “No.”

Well now, THAT was some plunderin’ ! You can thank me later for the time and energy I just saved ye! In the meantime, always time for grog!!
