The ship which was attacked was named the Maria Aleyne. The ship was set upon by Captain Flint and his men. And in the midst of the bloody assault, there was one particular victim, a very important man traveling under an assumed name. His name was Alfred Hamilton.

Given the lengths to which this man had gone to protect himself, the fact that he fell under Captain Flint’s sword… suggested he’d been hunted, pursued, and then executed in cold blood and with great malice aforethought. The motive unclear, but the intent apparently dark and awful, monstrous. [My father] said the act was completely incompatible with civilized society.

James Flint in every episode:
XXVIII.  Madness is such a hard thing to define, which makes it such an easy label
to affix to one’s enemies. Once it had been applied to Thomas,
once our relationship had been exposed, defiled, scandalized… everything ended.
There were times that I was persuaded to sue for peace since then,
but that was the day that on some level I knew that England was broken… and that sooner or later a good man must resist it.
