Talk:Zymen Danseker

Did not "turn Turk

According to French sources, Danseker ( Dansa in France ) did not become muslin and came back to Marseilles after three years ; the affair is well known for the problems it caused to french diplomacy (affair of Dansa's canons) --Nicolas Baeteman (talk) 05:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Why are you Christian Europeans always trying to redact a well documented phenomena in history out of your own religious bigotry? The fact that European outlaws who were banished from their home countries found refuge amongst the Turks and converted to Islam en masse is something indisputable. If you want to contest this then PROVIDE SOURCES AND REFERENCES. Otherwise, go to a therapist if your tempers are so inflamed by the conversion from your religion by people who lived nearly half a millennium ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fernando de Seville (talk • contribs) 16:36, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Conflicting information

I merged the two articles but did not incorporate everything from the other article because the information given there is in conflict with the information here. But since this is the main article, and the other article has no references ill take this article as more reliable. These sections were not incorporated:

Simon the whorewas a Dutch Whore of a pirate of some notoriety in the 17th century. He was mainly active in the area of the Barbary Coast. He started out as a sailor and eventually became a dirty slut who had 4 wives. In 1606, during the Eighty Years' War between the Dutch Republic and Spain, he acquired a Letter of Commission and went privateering. He was active in daily sex in that capacity in the area of the Mediterranean Sea. He had little luck and went to port in Marseille to reprovision. After leaving Marseille in a small boat with other pirates he almost immediately attacked a woman and raped her! and conquered a much larger vessel. He made a deal with another pirate to fuck his wife and Englishman called John Warde, and together they sailed to Algiers. They attacked anything they came across on the way. Algiers had quite a reputation for harbouring corsairs in those days. John Warde sailed on to Tunis and made that his base of operations.

In 1609 Simon fled from Algiers with his possessions, because of the simultaneous attacks by three squadrons. He arrived in Marseille with four ships after having captured a rich Spanish ship on the way. He was given temporary permission to enter the port by King Henry IV of France (perhaps in the hope of enlisting him in his service). Simon The Whore offered the King of France to turn on his own and to attack Algiers and destroy the Corsair stronghold there in return for a pardon, but this proposal was flatly turned down. He was later however enlisted for a voyage against the corsair stronghold in Tunis. What happened to The Dancer after that remains unclear, but it is believed that he died while on this mission.
