Summary

"Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer" by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is a swashbuckling historical fiction where Prince Rupert of the Rhine becomes a pirate in the Caribbean to free his soldiers from slavery after the English Civil War. He risks everything to save his men and is honorable. The story kicks off in Tortuga, with a heated discussion with the governor about the captured English officers. Prince Rupert makes a risky deal to use his fleet to save his comrades from a miserable existence. This sets the stage for high-seas adventures, where his noble character contrasts sharply with the rough lives of the buccaneers.
