History[edit | edit source]
Renaissance[edit | edit source]
In 1511, the Templars bribed the Hafsid King Muhammad IV to allow only Templar-approved merchants to bring goods into the markets of Tunis. However, these bribes were stolen by a team of Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by the Italian Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore, and put to other uses.[1]
Some time thereafter, the Templars manipulated King Muhammad into imposing quotas and mandates on local farmers that served their own goals rather than the citizens' needs. However, the Assassins protected the farmers and eliminated the king's extortionists.[2] They then protected several Tunisian community leaders who met with European merchants to discuss fruitful trade arrangements, in order to revive the country's crippled economy.[3]
Later on, the Templars bribed corrupt Hafsid ministers in exchange for loosened restrictions on imports and exports. However, the Assassins eliminated the most corrupt ministers and sent a message that corruption would be repaid with retribution.[4] Eventually, the Templars were expelled from Tunis while the Assassins installed several Dens to solidify their control.[5]
Barbary Wars[edit | edit source]
By the 16th century, Tunisia was primarily inhabited by the Berber people. Tunisia's coastal region was part of the Barbary Coast, a region rich in gold, ivory, and pepper. As a result, it attracted the interest of several imperial powers and trade routes were soon established, leading to a dramatic increase in piracy.[6]
