On May 1, 1618, 36 Algerian Galleys arrived at Bey of Arrefice,
Lanzarote, aiming to raid and plunder anything valuable. Led by Tabac Arraez, the pirate commander, they unleashed a force of 3,000 or 5,000 men who looted the island, leaving the inhabitants to seek refuge in caves. Eventually, they were besieged and captured by the
Regency of Algiers, totaling 900 men, women, and children. On that day,
Jan Janszoon, a Dutch soldier, was also captured. He later converted to Islam and became known as
Murat Reis the Younger. == Aftermath ==
