Question

Hans Leip falsely attributed a commonly reproduced example of these objects to a man whose two female companions claimed to be pregnant during his trial in Spanish Town. A name for these objects may derive from Ali (15[1])Raja’s domination of Kolathunadu or a “bloody” object on which the Dutch placed a flexing arm. A nickname for Satan grinning (15[1])may have inspired examples of these objects used by (15[1])Sam Bellamy and (*) Stede Bonnet. (10[1])Charles (10[2])Johnson (10[1])documented one of these (10[1])objects (10[4])that depicts Bartholomew Roberts proposing a toast. (10[1])One of these objects depicts a horned skeleton (10[1])piercing a heart (10[1])with a spear (10[1])and was flown (10[1])by (10[1])Edward Teach (10[2]-5[1])on the (10[1])Queen (10[1])Anne’s Revenge. (10[2])For 10 points, name these objects typically called Jolly Rogers (10[1])that often depict a skull and crossbones. ■END■

ANSWER: pirate flags [accept Jolly Rogers until read; prompt on flags or nautical flags; prompt on skull and crossbones until read] (The first line refers to Calico Jack Ratham, Mary Read, and Anne Bonny. In French, the blood flag translates as “Jolie Rouge,” which is possibly the origin of the term “Jolly Roger.”)
