Becoming a Pirate Lord[]

The title of Pirate Lord was bestowed when a former Lord gave his piece of eight to a successor. Generally one had to be a pirate captain, usually a powerful and/or famous one, to be considered worthy of the position. Pirate Lords tended to be the most powerful captains of their respective regions and commanded the respect of their fellow pirates. However, some Pirate Lords, such as Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, retained their titles even when they didn't have so much as a single ship to their name.

Behind the scenes[]

"The Pirate Lords, from the four corners of the Earth, must stand together."―Hector Barbossa[src] (trailer)

• The original opening of At World's End was to be a montage depicting the Pirate Lords each receiving a piece of eight from Hector Barbossa as a sort of invitation announcing the convening of the Brethren Court. However, the scene of the hanging at Fort Charles, in which Hoist the Colors was sung, ended up being the opening in the final cut of the film. All that remained of the original opening was a shot of Barbossa with a piece of eight in his hand, which only appeared in the opening clip of the At World's End deleted scenes.[7]
