Barbary Corsairs

The Barbary Corsairs, also known as Barbary pirates or Ottoman Corsairs, were pirates and privateers that operated from the Barbary coast in North Africa.

History


They were led by the Pirate Lord Ammand, who commanded a fleet of galleys. The Barbary Corsairs were known to attack trade ships of the Christian infidels, and controlled all trade from the Gulf of Morocco to Turkey, due to Ammand forging an alliance with the Ottoman Empire. They frequently crossed blades with the Spanish Treasure Fleet of Eduardo Villanueva as they operated in the same waters.
