Nicholas Brown (d. 1726) was an English pirate who was active of the coast of Jamaica during the early 18th century. Although accepting a royal pardon, he continued raiding shipping until his capture by pirate hunter and childhood friend Captain John Drudge. He eventually died of wounds during his capture and, following his death, Drudge had Brown's body decapitated and his head pickled for which he would use to collect his reward. [2]
