Summary
The Hafsid sultan of Tunis in Khayr al-Din Barbarossa's day 2.
Misrule
Al-Salabi depicts him as governing badly and killing a number of his brothers until the country fell into disorder and men broke from his obedience; his brother al-Amir al-Rashid fled him into Khayr al-Din's protection 2.
Flight and restoration
When Khayr al-Din entered Tunis in 1534 he fled to Spain and appealed to Charles V, who reinstalled him in 942/1535 bound to surrender Bône and Mahdia, to oppose the Ottomans, and to fund a 2,000-man Spanish garrison at La Goulette — Mahdia he could not deliver, for it remained Ottoman 3.
