Algiers expedition (1541)

Years: 1541 - 1541

The Algiers expedition of 1541 occurs when Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire attempts to lead a fleet against the Ottoman Empire stronghold of Algiers, in modern Algeria.

Largely because of stormy weather, the expedition is a failure.

"Remember that the people you are following didn’t know the end of their own story. So they were going forward day by day, pushed and jostled by circumstances, doing the best they could, but walking in the dark, essentially."

—Hilary Mantel, AP interview (2009)
