The golden age of piracy took place from the 1650s to the 1730s. Per wikipedia, the third and last age is considered by many historians to take place from 1716 to 1726. We know Edward Kenway died in 1735, though we don't know when he was born (yet). Judging by the costumes and ships, Pirates of the Caribbean takes place during the final golden age of piracy. So one can assume Edward was pirating then all throughout the Caribbean...and ran into the crazy antics of one Jack Sparrow.
Were they friends? Allies? Frienemies? How does Barbossa fit into that? Is Jack's compass a Piece of Eden? Was the East India Trading company really just a Templar front and was Beckett a grandmaster Templar? Did Edward seduce one Will Turner and/or Elizabeth Swann? Perhaps Norrington is descended from Assassins, but much like Haytham, was manipulated away to the Templar side, only to have Edward bring him back (I'd love to see Norrington survive, side with the pirates and go back to his Assassin heritage).
Perhaps even, Ezio and Altair are immortal and also doing their part to crush the East India Company. Who knows. I just want to see some Edward/Jack Sparrow antics.
