Libertalia (also known as Libertatia) was a purported pirate colony founded in the late 17th century in Madagascar under the leadership of Captain James Misson (last name occasionally spelled "Mission", first name occasionally given as "Olivier"). The main source for Libertalia is Volume 2 of A General History of the Pyrates, a 1724 book which describes Captain Misson and Libertalia. Little to no corroborating evidence for Libertalia beyond this account has been found, and Libertalia is widely regarded as fictional by contemporary scholars.
