Most of what is known about l'Olonnais comes from Alexandre Exquemelin's book ''The History of the Buccaneers of America''. Exquemelin claimed that l'Olonnais, born Jean-David Nau, was born in les Sables-d'Olonne in France, traveling to the Caribbean in the 1650s as an indentured servant.

About a year after becoming a pirate, l'Olonnais was shipwrecked off the coast of Mexico, where Spanish soldiers attacked him and his crew. All of l'Olonnais' crew were killed, with l'Olonnais himself only escaping by covering himself in blood and hiding among the bodies of the dead. After the Spanish left, l'Olonnais joined up with some escaped slaves and traveled to Tortuga, where he held the town hostage, demanding a ransom from the Spanish. They sent another raiding party, but this time l'Olonnais killed them all save one, whom he sent to deliver a message to the Spanish that he had vowed eternal enmity to them. | About a year after becoming a pirate, l'Olonnais was shipwrecked off the coast of Mexico, where Spanish soldiers attacked him and his crew.
