He fell in love with a woman named Patricia Díaz, but was supposed to return to London for an arranged marriage and a church post. Patricia was the sister of a Spanish naval captian who'd been given to Governor Juan de Ribera in marriage; however, she realized the Governor's madness and fled to the Bahamas. Fate seemed to conspire to keep Blackburne and Patricia apart. However, in 1681 it was his luck to encounter a repentant pirate who bore a striking resemblance to Blackburne. This pirate needed a way out. Blackburne taught the man what he needed to serve as his replacement. When the imposter "Lancelot Blackburne" returned to England in 1684, he became Dean of Exeter, and was often noted for his ungentlemanly ways. The real Blackburne, under the pirate pseudonym "Jon Blackbeard", made his new home in Nassau with his love Patricia, the only other person in the Caribbean who knows his secret. After Governor Trott was killed, French and Spanish forces tried to occupy Nassau in 1703; Blackbeard led the push to repel the enemy. Since then he has been attempting to put his education to work establishing a pirate republic in Nassau for the past decade.</blockquote>
