[QUOTE] Shortly after arriving in Morocco, Pellow was forced to convert to Islam. He became a Muslim, learned Arabic, and was assigned a wife from the sultan’s harem, with whom he had two children. He then became a personal slave of Moulay Ismail and had the rare opportunity to experience the court of the sultan, witnessing firsthand his notorious cruelty. [...] Pre-Encounter The Barbary Coast was a term used to refer to the coastal regions of North Africa, which included Morocco, Algiers, Tripoli, and Tunisia. The latter three were regencies or military provinces of the Ottoman Empire. The term ‘Barbary’ originally referred to the Berbers, a people indigenous to North Africa. The British used the term ‘Barbary’ to denote the entire area of North Africa, excluding Egypt. Moreover, the term was used to describe a wide variety of people such as Arabs, Berbers, Moriscos, and others.

The perpetrators were from the Barbary Coast of Africa, and were known as Barbaries, Moors, Turks and Corsairs. [/QUOTE] http://www.nmmc.co.uk/index.php?/miscellenia/barbary_piracy/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
