La Historia De Barbanegra El Pirata

Blackbeard, likely named Edwards, began as a sailor in Bristol and turned to piracy in Nassau. Rising to power, he captured numerous ships and used fear as a weapon, though he never killed his victims. His flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, was a formidable warship. Despite successes, crew morale waned due to lack of treasure. Blackbeard's blockade of Charleston was a bold move, but his ship ran aground. He received a pardon but returned to piracy, leading to his capture and death by a naval task force. His reign lasted less than two years, but his legend endures.
