Behind the scenes[]
- This character currently doesn't appear physically in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe. He was mentioned as "His Majesty" and "king" in two Rob Kidd's book Legends of the Brethren Court: The Turning Tide and A. C. Crispin's novel The Price of Freedom. Although his real name is currently unknown, the events of the two books are set somewhere during the first half of the 18th century, so it is possible that he is Philip V of Spain, the first Bourbon on the Spanish throne and the father of King Ferdinand VI of Spain, who was the King of Spain during the events of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which are intended to be set in 1750. The coat of arms of the Spanish Bourbon dynasty featured in Dead Men Tell No Tales on the stern of Armando Salazar's ship, the Silent Mary, also supports this theory.
- In Dead Men Tell No Tales and its tie-in materials, the undead Spanish Navy capitán Salazar justifies his cruel actions "by rule of the King".[1][2] It's unknown if the mentioned King was meant to be this one or one of his successors.
