The buccaneers’ sense of honor was one of the few fragments of European life they kept, for it bound them to their mother country’s imperial mission and ennobled a journey that had begun when they first joined the army of vagrants tramping the country lanes of England. Judging by James Burney’s account, some of the buccaneers also kept up a keen hatred of the Spanish.
It is related of a Frenchman, a native of Languedoc named Montbars, that on reading a history of the cruelty of the Spaniards to the Americans, he conceived such an implacable hatred against the Spaniards that he determined on going to the West Indies to join the buccaneers; and that he there pursued his vengeance with so much ardour as to acquire the surname of the Exterminator.14
