Hayreddin Barbarossa, or Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha (1478-1546), was an Ottoman Turkish admiral of the fleet who dominated the Mediterranean for decades. The Barbary corsairs, sometimes called Ottoman corsairs or Barbary pirates, were pirates and privateers who operated from North Africa, based primarily in the ports of Tunis, Tripoli and Algiers. Hayreddin (means goodness or best of the religion of Islam) was an honorary name given to him by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Hayreddin Barbarossa established the Ottoman supremacy in the Mediterranean, which lasted until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Few other Ottoman admirals ever achieved his overwhelming naval power. He had three brothers and all were seamen, engaged in marine affairs and international sea trade. Barbarossa died in 1546 in his seaside palace in Constantinople. In the centuries following his death, Turkish seamen salute his mausoleum with a cannon shot before leaving for naval operations and battles.
