Notes

Nathaniel Butler
1619-39. English. From Bedford, Butler went to sea as a youth and voyaged to North America and Guyana. He became a protge of Richard Rich, earl of Warwick and Protestant leader, who made him governor of Bermuda from 1619 to 1622. Between 1625 and 1628, Butler commanded vessels during naval assaults in Spain and northern France. He was appointed a captain in the royal navy in 1637.
Butler became governor of Warwick's pirate colony on Providence Island in 1638. In about April 1639, he assembled a mixed fleet of Dutch and English vessels. After looting several smaller towns, the raiders descended on Trujillo, the chief port of Honduras. Trujillo had repelled Sir Anthony Sherley in 1597, but Butler's raiders took it by surprise and collected a ransom of 16,000 pounds. Butler apparently kept more than his fair share of the booty. Returning to Providence in September 1639, he sailed for England in great haste and secrecy.
Butler published the Dialogicall Discourse Concerninge Marine Affairs in 1634. An edition by W. G. Perrin Appeared in 1929.
