Henry Strangways (died 1562), also sometimes known as Strangwish,[2] was an English "Gentleman Pirate"[2] who attacked Spanish and other shipping. He was repeatedly imprisoned, and pardoned by highly placed friends, during his approximately eight-year piratical career, from about 1552 to 1560.[3] His portrait painted by a fellow prisoner, Gerlach Flicke, resides today in the National Portrait Gallery in London.[2]
