Peter Easton was one of the most successful pirates who ever lived, raiding the Maritimes in Canada and the Barbary for well over a decade after turning to piracy after King James cancelled all the letters of marque to end England's war with the Spanish. This is a song about his victims.
There is some license taken with name in the song as a concession to meter and rhyme, but for the most part it's historically accurate-ish!
