The brothers, Andruj and Khayr ad-Din, who was known as the pirate 'Redbeard' and as 'Barabossa' to Europeans, helped to expel the Spanish presence from Algiers ("Barabossa Britannica Online and "Turkey and Ancient Anatolia" Britannica Online). Khayr ad-Din ultimately gained control of Algiers for the Ottoman sultan Khalif in 1529 using the support of the Ottoman empire and his own pirate navy, the "sea ghazis" ("Algeria" ArabNet and "Turkey and Ancient Anatolia" Britannica Online). Prior to fighting on behalf of the Ottoman empire, he and his brother had planned to gain control in North Africa by making alliances with the Turks and the Muslims who had been expelled from Spain ("Barabossa" Britannica Online). When his brother Aruj was killed by the Spanish in 1518 during the battle at Tlemcen, Khayr ad-Din appealed to the Ottoman sultan Khalif for help because he was afraid of losing his achievements in North Africa to the Spanish without his brother ("North Africa" Britannica Online and "Barabossa" Britannica Online). He was named a beylerbey, the sultan's representative in Algiers, and given military aid by the Ottoman sultan in 1518 ("Barabossa" Britannica Online). Barabossa was given an Ottoman army to help defend the land and built a strong navy for both pirating and protection, especially against the threatening Habsburgs ("Turkey and Ancient Anatolia" Britannica Online).
