Andrew Barton

Andrew Barton

Sir Andrew Barton (c. 1466 – August 2, 1511) served as High Admiral of Scotland. Notorious in England and Portugal as a 'pirate', Barton was a seaman who operated under the aegis of a letter of marque on behalf of the Scottish crown, and is therefore more widely described as a privateer. He was defeated and captured in 1511 by Sir Edward Howard.

He is the subject of an English folk song entitled "Sir Andrew Barton" or "Andrew Bartin", which is child ballad number 167.

His story is also told in a Scottish Child ballad called "Henry Martin" (Child ballad number 250).
