==Biography==
In 1510, the Spanish of Castile established a presence on Peñón de Algiers, a small island near Algiers, 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 II of Aragon, a period coinciding with the rising influence of the Barbary Corsairs in the region. At the same time, he also enlisted the help of the Ottoman Assassins to protect the Moorish population of the island.
By 1516, Selim had invited the Barbary Corsair to assist in his endeavor to expel the Spanish. Barbarossa betrayed Selim however, killing him in September of that year. Barbarossa would go on to power for himself.
