Pennant or Flag of John Callis

[Jezzy The Butcher]

Does anyone have an idea where I might find the flag or pennant of the Pirate John Callis, who was imprisoned and pardoned by Queen Elizabeth after an agreement with King James I?

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's unlikely that Callice flew a personalised flag - the practice seems to have been adopted some time later. I don't know of any period references to Callice's flag, but we can surmise a little from other men of the period.

Almost every English ship, for example, flew a St. George's cross - even pirates - so it seems likely that Callice did. The bloody flag was also in use at the time, but it's also worth noting that at Cartagena in 1585 Drake flew black flags and pennants "menacing war to the death".

My thanks to ye, Foxe. I needed to know something as someone is willing to make me a flag to fly, since that was supposed to have been me own father. *smile* Again, thank you!
