Forum:The pirate Bartholomew

Why do all these articles (Bartholomew Roberts, Pirata Codex, Pirate code of the Brethren) say, that the Code was set down by Henry Morgan and Bartholomew Roberts??? It’s clear that it's not true, because Morgan died when Roberts was neither a pirate nor Bartholomew, but an 8-years old boy. Wikipedia has scrapped this version a long time ago, and states that the “pirate Bartholomew” was presumably either or, who both were contemporaries to Morgan. (I think, it was Portugues, as he and Morgan were pirate captains in the same time (the late 1660s), but Sharp started his pirate career in 1679 – when Morgan was already governor of Jamaica and not a pirate) El Chupacabra 07:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
