Biography
In 1510, the Spanish of Castile established a presence on Peñón de Algiers, a small island near Algiers,[2] compelling the new amir Selim, to sign a treaty and pay tribute. The island was fortified with advanced military technology, and Selim was obligated to travel to Spain to swear allegiance to King Ferdinand, a period coinciding with the rising influence of the Barbary Corsairs in the region.[3] At the same time, he also enlisted the help of the Ottoman Assassins to protect the Moorish population of the island.[2]
By 1516, Selim had invited the Barbary Corsair Aruj al-Din Barbarossa to assist in his endeavor to expel the Spanish. Barbarossa betrayed Selim however, killing him in September of that year.[3]
