May 1518 CE

…the Spaniards march overland on Tlemcen, where Oruç and his brother Ishak await them with fifteen hundred Turkish and five thousand Moorish soldiers.

They defend Tlemcen for twenty days, but are eventually killed in combat by the forces of Garcia de Tineo.

The last remaining brother, Hizir Reis, inherits his brother's place, his name (Barbarossa) and his mission.

Barbarossa now requests the assistance of the Ottoman Empire, in exchange for acknowledging Ottoman authority in his dominions.
