November 1720 CE
Roberts is alleged to have caught the Governor of Martinique, de Hurault, who was sailing aboard a man-of-war during this time.
Robert's ship pulls up next to the man-of-war pretending to be a French merchant ship, and offers information on the location of Captain Roberts before suddenly attacking it, spraying the warship with cannon and small arms fire, after which the pirates board it and take it over using pistols and cutlasses.
The Governor is caught and promptly hanged on the yardarm of the Royal Fortune. (Almost nothing is known of Governor de Hurault, other than that he served from 1717 to 1720.)
