What is the term for the black flag with skulls and crossbones?

If you mean of pirate lore, it is known as the Jolly Rodger.While a pirate crew would fly the black flag to intimidate a potential ship it intended to attack, it was not the only flag used. A crew would first fly the skull and crossbones on a black background so the other ship would be intimidated, if the other ship didn't surrender the crew would lower the black flag and raise a red flag with a skull and cross bones or whatever symbol the ships crew used as a Jolly Rodger. The red flag showed the crew the time for surrender was over and now everyone on the ship would be killed. Pirates did not take prisoners nor did they spare those people that didn't surrender the first offer.
