Edward Teach - also called Blackbeard - was a pirate second to none - which is why he has a series of movies, TV shows, and web series. They teach us a lot about pirate life - such as the meaning and contexts of Blackbeard quotes and the meaning of his flag.
His flags were often red or black, with images and symbols of death, terror, and destruction on them. This was to warn off enemy pirates, and these flags were lowered when trying to loot a ship.
He is well known for a lot other than looting ships. He is very famous for blockading the Charleston Harbour in 1718 with his ship - Queen Anne's Revenge - and three others.
