1429 CE

North African commerce with Christian Europe has grown significantly under the Hafsids; however, piracy against Christian shipping has grown as well, particularly during the rule of Abd al-Aziz II.

The Hafsids attack the island of Malta in 1429 and enslave three thousand captives, although they do not conquer the island.

The profits are used for a great building program and to support art and culture.
