Frances Genrete by Francis Banks is a fictionalized version of Blackbeard’s real-life killer, Robert Maynard

Robert Maynard was a Royal Navy officer

Although Outer Banks Season 4 claims to tell the story of Blackbeard, but it gets many details wrong, including who killed the infamous pirate. Of course, the writers took creative liberties to create their own cohesive and intriguing narrative for the episodes, which meant changing the identity of Blackbeard’s killer. Francis Genrete is not the one who murdered him, Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the British Royal Navy is actually the one credited with executing the pirate. however, Francis was seemingly inspired by Maynard in Outer Banks Season 4.

Wes Genrette reveals in Outer Banks Season 4 that Francis, a British officer, captured, murdered and beheaded the pirate, which sounds like the real story, only with a different name ascribed to the killer. In real life, Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia ordered Maynard to capture Blackbeard. Maynard and his army found the pirate and his men near Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, where a battle between the two opposing forces ensued. When the smoke cleared, Blackbeard was dead. Afterwards, Maynard reportedly hung Teach’s head from his mast.

Does Blackboard’s wife really have a curse on the family of the man who killed them?

Elizabeth is not a real person

in Outer Banks The story of season 4, Wes claims that his ancestor, Francis Genrete, murdered Blackbeard’s wife, Elizabeth Teach, after killing the pirate. Before her death, Elizabeth begged Francis to retrieve her amulet, a gift from her husband and her most prized possession, from his ship. Francis refused and killed her. Therefore, Elizabeth placed a curse on the Genrette family and has haunted them for over 300 years. However, in real life, this never happened. In fact, Elizabeth Teach isn’t even a real person, as such Blackboard’s last known wife before his death was Mary Ormond.

By all accounts, Robert Maynard never murdered Blackbeard’s wife. Meaning the curse was fabricated for season 4 of Netflix’s exciting series Outer Banks. Although the curse is not real, there are stories about Blackbeard’s ghost. Per North Carolina ghostsLegends say that Maynard’s men threw the pirate overboard after beheading him, and his head without body swam around the ship three times before sinking into the ocean. The place was known as Teach’s Hole, where many claim that Blackboard’s ghost haunts the waters. People have reported seeing a light moving beneath the surface and hearing its voice calling out on stormy nights.

Robert Maynard died in 1751

Robert Maynard lived for many years after killing Blackbeard in November 1718, Died in January 1751 aged 66. He will always be best known for being the man who executed the notorious pirate, though, as Maynard faded from history after Blackboard’s death.
