When Algeria broke the peace, Louis XIV of France sent Admiral Jean d’Estrées, who bombarded Algiers for five days and caused massive damage. But with renewed war in Europe, d’Estrées was recalled (August 1688), and Corsair Admiral Husayn Pasha retaliated by attacking French shipping. In May 1689, Louis made a new peace, with further concessions.
