The Brutal Code That Every Pirate Had to Follow | History for Sleep

We often imagine the Golden Age of Piracy as a time of pure anarchy and chaos. But in reality, the pirate ships that terrorized the high seas were governed by a strict, sometimes democratic, and always brutal set of rules known as the "Pirate Code" (Articles of Agreement).

In this episode of History for Sleep, we drift into the dark waters of the 18th century to uncover the laws that every pirate—from the lowest deckhand to the captain—had to obey. From the compensation for lost limbs to the terrifying punishment of being marooned on a desert island, discover how these outlaws maintained order in a lawless world.

Close your eyes, relax, and let the true history of the pirates guide you into a deep sleep.
