Blackbeard’s story told by orange beard

Imagine being such a badass that the government says, "Please just stop and we'll forget what happened. Also, we may need your help later." LMAO

"...And cut Blackbeard's head clean off." -So Blackbeard, Channeling his inner Uday Hussein, flew into a rage...

blackbeard hops on ur ship and steals your silver, gems, xp booster and free epic champion at sword-point

"Kenway, In a world without Gold, we might've been heroes." - Black Beard

"Dead men tell no tales" Immediately Epstien comes to mind

"Revolt against the nagging wife." -Stede Bonnet

The perfect Sequel to Internet Historians 'The Gentleman Pirate'.

Fun fact: Many pirates drank much more alcohol instead of water because normal water would get stagnant fairly quickly. Alcohol won’t go bad, and can be added to stagnant water as a sort of disinfectant to make grog. That, and pirates loved to get drunk.

I grew up on the North Carolina coast and as a school-child, learning about Blackbeard was as normal as learning about George Washington

the reason blackbeard was vilified so much even for his somewhat fair behavior is because its rumored he trained his pet parrot to salute when he said "gas the british"

5 gunshots and 20 stab wounds? My guy was a real life boss fight.

Damn. Blackbeard's defeat is the closest thing I can think of to a real life bossfight. You're just hacking away trying to get his HP down to zero but the bastard still keeps going...

Yo when we getting a mad lad on Teddy Roosevelt. Man gets shot and carries on with his talk to be reelected, wrestles in the white house, and rode horses into gun fire.

If you think about it, Black Beard was basically the Big Boss of pirates. He even had his own Outer Heaven.

You can take away from this entire story that Blackbeard and his men were NOT mindless murdering, plundering, hostage taking drunkards. *Most of the time.*

"People believed he was a demon from the pits of hell." Come on man that was the perfect set up to roast the shit out of bristol

Next Absolute Mad Lad video will be on the people who actually installed Raid Shadow Legends instead of watching the video

“The world just doesn’t want us anymore, Dutch!” -Arthur Morgan, 1899

Satan on his inspection days: "Yup, ship's on fleek. Keep up the good work."

Nova Scotia is what happens when Scots, Irish, Germans and French people mix then start eating giant bugs

internet historian does steed bonnet, dankula does blackbeard. seems correct.

“Give your quarry something to fear, some hellish thing from a fever dream, and men will drop to their knees pleading for their Lord before all else!”

>writers of the time framed pirates more negatively to stir a moral panic “You wouldn’t download a ship!”

"His ship had a name you all heard of" Me: "Aaah, The flyin.. Ann's revenge."

"Judge a man not by the color of his skin but by how much booty he can plunder" truer words could not have been spoken🙏

So what you're saying is that 40% of Blackbeard's crew were full of exaggerated swagger?

”But before we get into the mad lad Its ya boi... Raid shadow legens” ”Kleck the lenk” Two phrases that will go down in history

"low-rate knockoff, Nova Scotia" Bro that hurts :( we made Trailer Park Boys

"In a world without gold, we might have been Heroes..."

I really, really hope you read this comment Dankula. My grandmother gave me a book written by a historian in North Carolina who went through old documents in the state and found out that there is some evidence that his true name was Edward Beard, heir to the Beard family's estate. He took the last name Teach or Thatch because he was a cabin boy on a ship owned by the family Teach. This theory explains why he spent so much time in Bath, where his family's lands and his sister lived. It was also common to call pirates "Black" as a nickname, like Black Bart Roberts, so Black Beard became Blackbeard. The Beard family were Highland Scots who owned plots of land in Bath, NC, and Blackbeard was fiercely loyal to the Scottish Royalty, as he named his ship for Queen Anne. Pirate captains at the time weren't lowlife orphans, they had to learn how to read, navigate, and use maps, so most captains from the time were actually from well off families. In fact, this book claims that Beard and Eden were neighbors and Beard's father was a friend of Gov. Eden. Unfortunately, the legend about him burning stuff in his beard is a bit of an embellishment. It was probably pieces of local trees, and the smoke would keep away mosquitoes. You try hanging around coastal NC for a few weeks in the summer without bug spray, and you'll understand why. This book is not confirmed by other historians, but I would like to think it is true. A marauding, 6+ foot tall, 250 pound hielan' Scottish pirate loyal to the Stuarts is just something too good to be false.

Blackbeard: *Too angry to die.* Also Blackbeard: _Gets his head cut off._ Also Blackbeard's body: *Still too angry to die*

I live in North Carolina, and Blackbeard is still incredibly popular in his old stomping grounds. The Blackbeard flag is often flown over Okracoke Island and on the backs of cars as bumper stickers. 😆

LEFT MY HOME IN BRISTOL, WITH A SWORD AND PISTOL,

"A ship you've all heard the name of..." Me: "The Black Pearl!" "...Queen Ann's Revenge"

When dankula calls the province you live in "lowrate knockoff Scotland"

Legend goes you can on occasion still find the descendants of African pirates raiding Nike stores in the New World to this very day...

He forgot to mention Blackbeard's devil fruit

“England wanted to keep the pirates on standby as they would still make good privateers in the case of another war” I really like how he explains in the possible motivations and self interest of the people he talks about. Like a little touch on psychology

Internet historian: the gentleman pirate. For background on steed bonnet. Funny af

Pfft everyone knows Blackbeard died to British Privateer Hector Barbosa

I've always read that the skeleton in Teach's flag was holding an hourglass, signaling that the time of the victims was running out.

Big bearded guy? Liked a drink? Up for a fight? Walked around in a cloud of smoke?.....So he was just an 18th century Dankula.

you forgot the part when Bonnet pulled out two AR-15's, killed the British government and resurrected the dead

"..or, do you think of a group of Somalian intellectuals trying to, make an honest living for themselves!" I died..

At this point I'll have to assume Dank's funeral in 50+ years will be sponsored by Ya Boi Raid Shadow Legends

I'm so stupid I actually thought the name of his ship was going to be The Jolly Roger.

Despite making up only 40% of Blackbeard's crew...

Blackbeard: ....You know, I can just make more money stealing from merchants. Merchants: Wait, that's illegal.

Ive gone fishing over the wreck of Queen Anne’s Revenge out by Fort Macon, It gives me chills every time I cast. Knowing that even though I cant see a few feet below the inlet that hides her, the aura and transcendence of a total badass and mad-lad still surrounds me.

Fun fact: One of his descendants fought as a privateer for Britain in the war of 1812 and then became a pirate, but was killed by Andrew Jackson. He never got the same reputation as Blackbeard though, not even close.

N. Carolina: "where did you get this treasure?" B.B: " we found them." N. Carolina: "are you suggesting treasure is a migratory?!?" B.B: drops fat sack of gold on the bench "yes, i am"

Roman Von Ungern-Sternberg would be PERFECT for Absolute Madlads.

He says piracy ended at 1712 *Laughs in somolian*

The fact that they would raid ships just for alcohol is fucking hilarious. This alone makes him quite the mad lad lmfao.

Everyone gangsta until the sea starts speaking Bristolian

"For if a Man plays the fool, then it's then it's only Fools he'll persuade. But appear to be the Devil, and all Men will submit."

“This was a time where people still believed in demons.” Pedos: Am I a joke to you?

I miss my friend Evan. You remind me of him. It's like he never died. You look and sound nothing like him. It's just the fact that he would tell you one hell of a story with submersion effortlessly. You felt like as he told it you were on the boat or battlefield he was speaking of. He was a good kid and that's what I'll remember him for forever. Thanks man. I'm a vet and missing a friend while I'm drinking. Thanks for letting me hang out with you.

The low rate Scotland hits perfect , Pictou county Nova Scotia born and raised. Been to Scotland once felt like home. Meth ,drinking in excess and I could go to jail at any time for a joke.

Count Dankula’s pirate name would still be Count Dankula

Edward Teach also illegally downloaded uncensored loli hentai. But that’s not really what he’s known for.

Turns out those two pirates who were sent to get the medicine, were Australians.

Nowadays what’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word pirate? Ilhan Omar

You should do an episode on Julius Caesar, the man who told the people who captured him for ransom that they should ransom him for more money than he was as already being ransomed for.

ATTENTION: a pirate that goes by the name Blackbeard has fallen in the Lego city river

Blackbeard before each raid had to say “this raid is brought to you by raid shadow legends”

“Too angry to die” Are we sure this man wasn’t from Dathomir?

The classic “you may be Bad guy, but... that doesn’t make you a Bad guy.”

“A man's dream… Will NEVER die!” - Blackbeard

Like you said, dead men tell no tales, indeed the biggest reason why Blackbeard was so famous was because he let so many people go free, the other reason was because of his last stand, which made his legend so famous, he was a huge guy, like 6.6 over 200 pounds and tough as steel wrought in hell fire, but there were really bad pirates that made Blackbeard look like a saint. Some Pirates that lasted longer, some made more booty and some like Bloody Henry Every and Cheng I Sao who got away with their loot and retired. But there were some who put cruelty and depravity to whole other levels. Francois L'Olonnais and Ned Lowe. Francois was really notorious among the Spanish, they thought he was some sort of devil from hell, the animal cut out a mans heart and ate it in front of him before he died, he killed the entire crew except one person, who he sent back to tell the others, this person was so feared by the Spanish that their Navy were genuinely afraid to engage his ship. Ironically he himself was also cannibalised but hey ho, thats the life of a pirate. Ned Lowe (Edward Lowe) was even worse, he would torture people because he actually took genuine enjoyment from it, he wouldn't do it to extract information, like... the MAIN REASON for torturing people would be because they didn't give you what you wanted. He would torture people, because he ENJOYED IT, not because he needed to do it, but because he WANTED to do it. Think about that for a moment. He would cook their body parts and make them eat it, burn ships with people still on them. I believe he was hanged, luckily for humans within his vicinity. Black Bart was actually quite bad too but he was more like Black Beard in that he was just another bad ass, good with a sword and tough as nails. He hated high ranking officers but otherwise he didn't really care and wasn't as evil as the above mentioned. Hayreddin Barbarossa was actually quite a notorious pirate too but his were entirely different circumstances and nearly 200 years before the European golden age of piracy. Im happy to write about Hayreddin if anyone is interested. But in case you are not, Hayreddin Barbarossa is alternatively known as, The Pirate King.

"What do you think of when you think of pirate" YOU WOULDNT STEAL A TV

Insulting my homeland of nova scotia will always be tolerated. We weirdly show up all the time and I love it. Cheers from diet scotland

Trust me Demons still exist. I was married to one for years.

For those who DON'T REALIZE, as a "privateer" you had legal protection for the most part because you were acting on behalf of the crown....

Steed Bonnet; Unhappy with his marriage, wants to be on a ship for long periods of time with only men, and has a fancy blonde mustache and a gentlemanly appearance. I think he may have been a fruit. At least he won't get scurvy 😂

The Scottish accent was the spice needed to make the phrase "Hornygold took him under his wing" perfect.

"In a world without gold, we might have been heros!"

I think of that one Korean woman that managed to get off without even being imprisoned. Built a fleet, had said fleet basically be the most loyal warband and then on top of that, was so powerful she terrorized every neighboring nation. I forgot her name, but she was a mad lass.

The Count would be the most effective history teacher. Imagine an educational book by C. Dankula....Brutality!

Please do The Atomic BoyScout. The crazy kid built a nuclear reactor in his back yard with smoke detectors.

JUDGE A MAN NOT BY THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN BUT BY HOW MUCH BOTTY HE CAN PLUNDER !!! - Yah Boi Dank 2020

“When you hear stories about black beard just remember, he wasn’t that bad.” And likewise when you hear about a Nazi pug just remember, he’s not that bad.

Beer in the fridge, gotta get the chips, go go go

I still wonder why we have sequels up the butt. Yet stories like this aren't made into film...

"For if a man plays the fool, then it’s only fools he'll persuade--but appear to be the devil and all men will submit. Give your quarry something to fear, some hellish thing from a fevered dream, and men will fall to their knees, pleading for their Lord before aught else."

"A time in history where people believed demons were real" It is a great tragedy that most people no longer do.

Best Blackbeard account ive heard. I’ve also read that to increase his dark reputation amongst his closest crew , he’d get the cards and booze going below decks......then blow out all the candles and fire off blank pistols in the pitch black .... just to keep it tasty. ;D

"dead man don't tell tales" ... They do vote though. Typo.

Absolute Mad Lads: Andrew "What's up bruh?" Jackson.

A pirate island separated from any government where everyone drinked and shared equally the loot from raids . Sounds based to me

Internet Historian did a video on Bonnet. Talk about a real-life meme

EDWARD! In a world with out gold we could have been heroes!

"Why fly a black flag when you can fly a black beard?" -Daddy Black Beard, AC4 I really liked his character in that game. Wise, but more than willing to be ruthless.

"the next time you see Blackbeard being portrayed as a bad guy, just remember that a lot of that is exaggerated" no, you mean One Piece exaggerates things, I never would have guessed

Suggestion for Madlads: Felix Graf von Luckner. Ran away from home as a boy, served on several ships, was saved after being swept overboard by holding on to an albatross, worked as a boxer, kangaroo hunter and light house keeper (among others) and served in the Mexican army. Returned back to Germany and became an officer in the Imperial German Navy. Was at Jutland and later commanded a sailing ship as a commerce raider during WWI. Shipwrecked, captured by the British, escaped and captured again. Went on several goodwill voyages between the wars to the US and Australia where he showed off tearing phone books in half. Did not get along too well with the Nazis. Saved a Jewish woman by giving her a passport he had found. Negotiated the surrender of Halle to American forces and eventually retired to Sweden.

Well of course the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about pirates is Stede Bonet, the greatest pirate to ever exist. THE GENTLEMAN PIRATE

So, does RAID: Shadow Legends just send him a wad of money with a note that says one thing: "AGAIN"
