Pirates didn't start out as outlaws and criminals! In fact, they often started out by stealing legally, as asked by the monarchy! Terrible conditions on board a ship led to the crew turning to piracy to survive their brutal lives. This in turn started the so called 'Golden Age of Piracy' when pirates ruled the waves.
Pirates didn't steal just gold, but anything of value from any ship they found. Unsurprisingly, kings and queens in Europe did not like them galivanting around attacking at will, and they eventually sent out a large fleet, hunting the pirates down, ending the golden age of piracy in around the year 1730.
