Piracy in the ranks of the Muslim pirates of Barbary was also a way to find employment, after  English King James I formally proclaimed an end to privateering in June 1603. For these pirates, abandoning England as well as their Christian faith was often a way to financial success, as fortunes could be made by attacking Christian shipping, By 1610, the wealth of English renegade pirates had become so famous as to become the object of plays, and the king offered Royal Pardon to those who wished to return.

The number of these English pirates was significant. Catholic ships were attacked and prisoners taken to Algiers, modern day Algeria, or other places of the Barbary Coast to be sold as slaves. English convert pirate Walsingham is known to have freed Turkish captives from Christian galleys, and to have sold Christian captives on the North African slave market..
