- trod123 2y agoI believe the correct term you are looking for is privateers, not robbers. They were outside the color of law and often targeted specific trade coming out of adversarial nations.
- newsclues 2y agoOne kings privateer is another’s thieving pirates. It depends on who is getting robbed. Kings and governments just make up special words for when they commit crimes.
- lazide 2y agoYup - it’s a special kind of outlaw (literally, outside the law) who has a home he can go back to and be protected.
