If you've played Uncharted (especially 4 - A Thief's End) then Henry Avery and some of his exploits are a known quantity, albeit ramped up for the scale of the game. In this interesting/entertaining/gripping piece on it, they turn into not only a game of cat and mouse but also a global history lesson. And of course the parallel story of the bigger and more effective Pirate, The East India Company.
A bit of guesswork is involved, as there are gaps in the record, but they are clearly signposted in the narrative.
