History's Most Badass Deaths Episode 2: A Screaming Hangover, 5 Gunshots, and 20 to 25 Sword Wounds: Captain Edward "Blackbeard Teach"

In our inaugural History's Most Badass Death Tournament, we pit three of the most legendary die hards: Rasputin, the Mad Monk, Captain Ed "Blackbeard" Teach, and 81 year old Puritan farmer and accused Salem witch Giles Corey against each other in a head - to head competition to determine who really pulled off the manliest death in history. Warning: You'll learn a little about the Russian Revolution, the Golden Age of Piracy, and the Salem Witch Trials along the way.

In my favorite episode of the series, take an epic adventure with the real life pirates of the Caribbean including Teach's buddies Ben Hornigold, Stede Bonnett, and "Black Sam" Bellamy - not to mention seafaring psychokiller Ned Lowe. Blackbeard definitely died the manliest death of any pirate captain, but was all that punishment enough to win the History's Most Badass Death Tournament?
