In 1697, a combined force of 1200 French soldiers and some 650 privateers in a fleet under the command of Baron de Pointis successfully attacked the Spanish-held fortified city of Cartagena de Indias, in present-day Colombia. After looting the city for a month, the French made off without paying the pirates their promised share of the booty.
Enraged, the freebooters returned to the city and pillaged it mercilessly, once again.
I picture these two whispering the news of the French departure, before they determine to wreak vengeance on the city.
