  1. From Rome to Ragnarok, he’s been a Viking, a Pirate, a Musketeer, and much, much more! But he will perhaps be best remembered by most of us here for his portrayal of Blackbeard on Black Sails. Requiescat in Pace to Ray Stevenson who left this world too early on Sunday at only 58 years of age. Cause of death has not yet been released.

  4. Ahoy, mates! I have written an article describing the complex political and historical context of what it meant to be a Jacobite. Please enjoy and parley on the points! http://bcbrooks.blogspot.com/2016/02/are-jacobites-criminals-or-just-loud.html Note the article from my book on Richard Tookerman of South Carolina that I referred to in the blog article: http://bcbrooks.blogspot.com/2015/12/south-carolinas-gentleman-pirate.html Baylus C.

  5. I’ve written another article for my site, CSP Historical, this time about Blackbeard. It’s called “The Firsts of Blackbeard: Exploring Edward Thatch’s Early Days as a Pirate.” By examining Thatch’s early career up to about November of 1717, through the lens of when particular firsts occurred, I help clear away the myths and clutter surrounding Thatch’s early history. In the process, I also end up examining some of Hornigold’s history and the seldom-mentioned Captain Napping. I suspect there’s a little bit of something for everyone in this article. In my previous article review, I mentioned delaying an article because I wanted to obtain some documents. This is that article: http://csphistorical.com/2015/10/18/the-firsts-of-blackbeard-exploring-edward-thatchs-early-days-as-a-pirate/
  6. This is astounding. This is Kevin Duffus giving a presentation on March 19 to the Virginia Historical Society, "What's Wrong with Black Beard?" I saw a version of this talk about two years ago in Washington, North Carolina. This version is even better. Even if you disagree with some of his points, the evidence he has found relating to Blackbeard's history I think demonstrates how highly worth discussion and debate his position is. The sheer amount of evidence here has to make you at least think "there are too many coincidences for at least some of it to not be correct. Surely all these names matching all can't just be coincidence (at least some of the "coincidences" must not be coincidences by sheer odds of how many coincidences there are)."
