corsair
corsair A privateer of the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and especially Algiers. Piracy existed here in Roman times, but, after the Moorish expulsion from Spain, individuals (with government connivance) began attacks on Christian shipping. The early 17th century was the peak of their activity. Privateering ceased with the French occupation of Algiers in 1830.
