dc.description.abstract | Privateering in Malta is known to have existed long before the Order's arrival. Its usefulness became more and more apparent as time passed. As the population of Malta multiplied from the 16th century onwards, commerce and the number of merchants, as also privateering and those who were connected with it, increased proportionately. At the same time, however, abuses, which had always existed, also increased. In 1605, the Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt found it necessary to set up an organisation to control privateering and to give the corsairs a statute to observe. | en_GB |
