Quote : | "The Dread Pirate Roberts is a fictional character in the novel The Princess Bride and its film adaptation. The name most likely comes from one of the Welsh pirates, Bartholomew Roberts (or Black Bart), whom some consider the most successful pirate captain in history; he was referred to in contemporary letters as "the great pirate Roberts." Additionally, in the film the "real" Roberts was said to have retired in Patagonia, which was heavily settled by Welsh immigrants (or at least the Argentine province of Chubut received a few hundred Welsh in the middle of the 19th century)." |
