Beschreibung
In the summer of 1627, two groups of Barbary corsairs raided Iceland, one from Salé, on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, and one from Algiers. Between them, they killed dozens of people and abducted over four hundred, packing their captives into the cargo holds of their ships and transporting them to North Africa to be sold in the slave markets there.

The first place the Algerine corsairs attacked was East Iceland.

The corsairs from Algiers spent four days pillaging the area around Berufjörður, in the East Fjords. On the first day alone, they seized over a hundred people (men, women, and children). They then sailed on to the island of Heimaey, in the Westman Islands, where they took nearly 250 people. After this, their ships crammed with captives, they sailed back to North Africa.
