Blackbeard: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

Blackbeard was also a big man, and was said to be strong, it was claimed he was strong enough to chop straight through a man with one swipe of his sword. He also carried multiple pistols at once, mostly down to the unreliability of guns of the day.

Blackbeard also spent a lot of his reign spreading stories of his own cruelty arround to make it easier for him to defeat others. Exactly how true these stories are is unknown, as the majority of what he told was said for the purpose of scaring others so they would surrender rather than face his wrath. Likewise he never killed a single person he kidnapped, although on one occasion he cut a man's arm when he reused to give him a ring he was wearing.

After the navy stormed his ship the Queen Annes Revenge, Blackbeards crew was already depleated and many of them were drunk, never the less a battle raged. Blackbeard was shot and stabbed multiple times before he eventually died, the Navy decapitated his dead body, hung his head on the bowsprit of the boat and tossed the body into the sea.
