Disney misrepresented one historical pirate.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to pirate expert Iszi Lawrence, Pirates Of The Caribbean's Blackbeard is a wrong representation of the historical pirate. The feared real-world pirate was portrayed by Ian McShane in the 2011 sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — the fourth installment in the Disney franchise adapted from one of the most notable theme park rides.
"Now I've portrayed Blackbeard as in his cabin a lot because he was ill, however, Blackbeard was 38 when he died, and life has not been kind to Ian McShane here, he is far too old here... He has wonderfully got his hair in braids, that is accurate. He is all wearing black, which also is accurate... He has not got the brace of pistols on, which is fair enough. But he would have had a brace with four loaded pistols on him to be as scary as possible.
We don't know if Blackbeard had a daughter. There's references to the fact he did. He certainly had more than one wife because he'd have a wife in each port, so the likelihood is that he'd have kids, whether he acknowledged them or not is another matter. But I don't think this is quite the right age range because he'd have been about 38 when he died, and I don't think he was having kids when he was ten years old...
Blackbeard certainly encouraged myths about himself, so, I don't think he encouraged myths that he could strangle people with his own rigging, but he certainly didn't want people to think that he was a pushover. The last thing he wanted was a merchant vessel to see his flag and his fleet bearing down on them and think "I'll be alright, I'll outrun him.
