    According to that image French privateering ended before two of those other things started, right?

    Am I missing something?

      I think that’s why they specified an “elderly” privateer - past their glory days.

      That‘s the reason for elderly French pirate. The people involved didn’t just disappear because privateering ended.

      Elderly French pirate so they would be in in their 60s or more

        I don’t think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.
