Amaro Rodríguez-Felipe y Tejera Machado (3 May 1678 – 4 October 1747), better known as Amaro Pargo (Spanish:[a.ˈma.ɾoˈpaɾ.ɣo]), was a famous Spanish corsair.[1] He was one of the most renowned corsairs in Spain of the Golden Age of Piracy.
He was noted for his commercial activities and for his frequent religious donations and aid to the poor.[2] In his role as a privateer, he dominated the route between Cádiz and the Caribbean, on several occasions attacking ships belonging to enemies of the Spanish Crown (mainly England and Holland),[3] earning recognition in his time as a hero and coming to be regarded as "the Spanish equivalent of Francis Drake".[4][5][6] He was declared a Caballero hidalgo in 1725 and obtained certification of nobility and royal arms in 1727.[7]
