| dbo:abstract | Philippe Bequel (fl. c. 1650–1669) was a 17th-century French privateer. Possibly born in La Rochelle, France, Bequel may have served under privateers and during the 1650s and, by the end of the decade, he had become captain of his own ship. Operating from the port of Cagway (later renamed Port Royal after its capture by the British several years later), Bequel was granted permission by Governor D' Oyley to attack Spanish shipping on 13 December 1659. At the request of , Bequel would use the small island colony of Tortoise as a base of operations until shortly after the British capture of Jamaica. Arriving at Port Royal in late 1663, he would later become one of the first foreign privateers to receive a letter of marque by the colonial governor of Jamaica. During his privateering career, he may have sailed with François l'Ollonais in his less than successful raids against Honduras and Nicaragua during 1667 and 1668. He was reportedly based at Tortoise or along the coast of Santo Domingo during the late-1660s and later served as a pilot for a royal marine squadron under the command Vice Admiral Count Jean II d'Estrées while in the Antilles in 1669. The following year, at the request of d'Estrées, he and Moïse Vauquelin wrote a report detailing their raids against Honduras and Yucatán. (en) Philippe Bequel est un corsaire français du XVIIe siècle. Il serait né à La Rochelle et aurait servi sous les ordres des corsaires Mathurin Gabaret et dans les années 1650, après quoi il devient le capitaine de son propre navire. Basé dans le port de Cagway en Jamaïque (qui sera renommé Port Royal après sa capture par les Anglais), Bequel obtient du gouverneur D'Oyley la permission d’attaquer les convois espagnols, le 13 décembre 1659. Par la suite, à la demande de Jérémie Deschamps du Rausset, Bequel utilise la petite colonie de l’île de la Tortue comme base de ses opérations, jusqu’à ce que les Anglais capturent la Jamaïque. Il revient alors à Port Royal vers la fin de l’année 1663, où il est l’un des premiers corsaires étrangers à obtenir une lettre de marque du gouverneur anglais de la Jamaïque. On suppose que Bequel était basé près de l’île de la Tortue ou sur la côte de Santo Domingo vers la fin des années 1660. Il a servi de pilote pour un escadron de la marine royale, sous le commandement du vice-amiral le Comte Jean d’Estrées, alors dans les Antilles en 1669. L’année suivante, à la demande du Comte Jean d’Estrées, Bequel et Moïse Vauquelin produiront un rapport détaillant leurs attaques contre le Honduras et le Yucatan. Au cours de sa carrière de corsaire, Bequel aurait navigué avec François l'Ollonais, notamment lors de ses attaques contre le Honduras et le Nicaragua en 1667 et 1668. (fr) |
