Every year, in my home town, the port of Poole on England's south coast, we have a festival to honour a historical character by the name of Harry Paye. Paye was a notorious 15th century pirate, who raided French and Spanish ports for booty, from his base in Poole Harbour. The French in particular, weren't keen and sent a raiding party into the harbour and burned Poole to the ground. The costume donned by the modern Poole Pirates may be anachronistic but it's all jolly good fun nevertheless.
