His name is also written ''Danziker'', ''Dansker'', or ''Danser''. Danseker and the English pirate John Ward were the two most prominent renegades operating in the Barbary coast during the early 17th century. Both were said to command squadrons in Algiers and Tunis that were equal to their European counterparts, and, as allies, together represented a formidable naval power (much as had Aruj and Hayreddin Barbarossa in the previous century). Later in his Barbary career, Danseker became known by the Turkish epithet Simon Re'is. Commanding a vast squadron made up of English and Turks while in the service of Algiers, Danziger captured more than 40 ships in a two-year period after "turning Turk" and was stopped only by his capture and execution in 1611. Both men are featured prominently in ''Kitab al-Munis fi Akhbar Ifriqiya wa Tun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
