Early Life of Blackbeard
Little is known of Edward Teach's early life, including his exact name: other spellings of his last name include Thatch, Theach and Thach. He was born in Bristol, England, sometime around 1680. Like many young men of Bristol, he took to sea, and saw some action in English privateers during Queen Anne's War (1702-1713). According to Captain Charles Johnson, one of the most important sources for information on Blackbeard, Teach distinguished himself during the war but did not receive any significant command.
Blackbeard and Vane
In October of 1718, Charles Vane, leader of those pirates who had rejected Governor Woodes Rogers' offer of a royal pardon, sailed north in search of Blackbeard, who he found on Ocracoke Island. Vane hoped to convince the legendary pirate to join him and reclaim the Caribbean as a lawless pirate kingdom. Blackbeard, who had a good thing going, politely declined. Vane did not take it personally and Vane, Blackbeard, and their crews partied for a rum-soaked week on the shores of Ocracoke.
Please don't think too hard.... I did and it scared the shit outta me lmao.
He was killed on November 22, 1718, by English sailors and soldiers sent to find him.
