Plundering Time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plundering Time (1644-1646) was a period of civil unrest in colonial Maryland caused by the tensions of the English Civil War. Governor Leonard Calvert (1606-1647) led colonial defenses against Parliamentary privateers such as Captain Richard Ingle.
