"Captain William Kidd (c. 22 January 1645 \u2013 23 May 1701) was a Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean. Some modern historians deem his piratical reputation unjust, as there is evidence that Kidd acted only as a privateer. Kidd's fame springs largely from the sensational circumstances of his questioning before the English Parliament and the ensuing trial."@en . . "Kidd, William"@en . "1645-01-01Z"^^ .
