Blackbeard (November 23, 1675 – November 22, 1718) was the nickname of Edward Teach, alias Edward Thatch (one source gives his name as Edward Drummond), a notorious English pirate who had a short reign of terror in the Caribbean Sea between 1716 and 1718, during a period of time referred to as the Golden Age of Piracy.
Blackbeard is thought to have been born in Bristol, England on November 23, 1675. He went to sea at an early age and apparently was a privateer before turning pirate. According to the French governor of the island, "Edoard Titche" commanded two boats of British pirates, one of twelve and the other of eight guns, with 250 men. Le Concorde de Nantes was a prize: a two-hundred-ton frigate armed with twenty cannons, which had ranged the west coast of Africa, taking Dutch and Portuguese ships. Teach armed it with an additional twenty guns (bringing total cannons to forty) and renamed it Queen Anne's Revenge
Teach originally served as a pirate under Benjamin Hornigold. In 1717, Hornigold retired, taking advantage of an amnesty extended to privateers by the British government.
