Condent (died 1734), born in Plymouth in Devon, was an English pirate who was best known for his piracies in the Indian Ocean.
His real name is uncertain; French sources from the time of his retirement refer to him as "Edward Congdon."[1] He has been known under the surnames Condent, Congdon, Coudon, Comdon, Connor, Condell, or Gonwel; various given names also arise, including William, Christopher, Edmond, Edward, or John. His frequently-encountered nickname was "Billy One-Hand".[2] He is most commonly known as Christopher Condent but "Christopher" as his given name was not seen in period sources and dates only to the 1950s.[1]
