The French Corsairs

Hated by the english, loved by the women, feared by all... Here come the CORSAIRS !!! The Corsairs were privateers working for the King of France, attacking the ships of France’s enemies. In the Caribbean sea, the corsairs worked for the french governors and were called “Flibustiers“. Some anecdotes : - The Saint Michael’s Mount resisted to the English during all the Hundred Years War, defended and supplied by Corsairs. After the final french victory, the kings of France changed their Patron Saint Denis for Saint Michael. - Jean Marant (Marant means “funny“ in French) was a corsair known for his extrem cruelty. During the siege of Calais in 1346-1347, he heroically supplied the city two times by the sea, slaloming between english war-sheeps and watchtowers. -When Calais finally surrended to the English in August 1347, Marant successfully leaves the city by the see. One day later, he meets a english ship and he captures it. On boa
