Book excerpt: History of the Reign of Muley Ismael, the Present King of Morocco, Fez, Tafilet, Sous, & c. Of the Revolt and Tragical End of Several of his Sons, and of his wives Of the Horrid Executions of Many of His Officers and Subjects Of His Genius, Policy and Arbitrary Government Of the Cruel Persecution of the Christian Slaves in his Dominions: With an account of the three voyages to Miquenez and Couta in order to Ransom them By F. Dominick Busnot, one of the Commissaries for the Redemption of Captives in the Dominions of Morocco This is the translation into English in 1715 of the work of Friar Dominique Busnot published the previous year in French in 1714. Muley Ismael ibn Sharif was born in 1634 or in 1645. He became King of Morocco in 1672 and ruled for 55 years until his death on 22 March 1727. He was a great builder and many famous buildings still standing in Morocco were built by him. He is also known as "Ismail The bloodthirsty" for his legendary cruelty. In order to intimidate rivals, Ismail once ordered that his city walls be adorned with 10,000 heads of slain enemies. During the half century of Ismail's rule, he is estimated to have killed 30,000 men. Despite his numerous faults, he is considered to be one of the greatest men in the history of Morocco. The present King of Morocco is a direct descendant. There is a Mouley Ismail University in Merkes today. It is largely because of him that Morocco is the only African nation that has never been occupied by a European power. After completing the unification of Morocco, Moulay Ismail decided to end the Christian presence in the country. He initially launched a campaign to retake the city of Tangier from the English that had not been under Moroccan control since 1471. He succeeded when the English under seige decided to withdraw from Tangier in 1684. Against the opposition of local tribes, Mulay Ismael began to create a unified state. With his Riffian Army, he not only seized Tangier from the English in 1684 but also drove the Spanish from Larache 1689. After his death in 1727, the next 15 Kings of Morocco were his different sons. Finally, on 10 November 1757, the first of his grandsons became the king, and ruled until 1790. The present king of Morocco is the 9th great-grandson of Mulay Ismail. The Guinness Books of World Records credits Mulay Ismail with having the most children of any man in history, with more than one thousand children. Scholarly studies and mathematical calculations have been done to determine if it was even possible for a man to have that many children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hero or Monster? Empire of Clay: The Reign of Moulay Ismail, Sultan of Morocco (1672-1727) assesses contrasting views of Morocco's longest-serving monarch. On the surface, Moulay Ismail's 55-year reign was momentous: he consolidated a new dynasty, the Alaouites; he developed a professional army of soldier-slaves, the Abid al-Bukhari, which he used to crush domestic opposition; he created a sprawling new capital at Meknes; and he returned to Moroccan control several cities held by England and Spain. On the international scene, he raised Morocco's profile in courting Louis XIV of France and James II of England. However, his legacy is an equivocal one. The cost of these successes was enormous: hundreds of thousands enslaved, as many or more killed through war and repression, including scores murdered by Ismail himself; and a state driven toward ruin by the ruler's obsessions. In the Age of Absolutism, no ruler was more powerful or more feared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histoire du regne de Moulay Ismail, Roy de Maroc Edition Originale Dominique Busnot La Tradition L'Eglise pour le Soulagement ou le Rachat Captifs Jean Baptiste De La Faye De la revolte et fin tragique de plusieurs de ses enfantes et de ses femmes et de la cruelle persecution que souffrent les Esclaves Chretiens dans ses Etats, avec le recit de trois Voyages a Miquenez & Ceuta pour leur Redemption. Selon les ecrits du diplomate francais Dominique Busnot, Moulay Ismail entretient pas moins de 500 concubines, dont il a eu plusieurs centaines d'enfants. Un total de 867 enfants dont 525 fils et 343 filles est mentionne en 1703 et il aurait obtenu son 700 fils en 1721 depassant largement le millier d'enfants vers la fin de son regne, 1042 selon le Livre Guinness des records, 1171 selon deux chercheurs anthropologues de l'universite de Vienne. Dominique Busnot ecrit l'Histoire du regne de Moulay Ismail (1714) a la suite de trois voyages au royaume du Maroc (1704, 1708, 1712) ou, en compagnie de peres mercedaires et trinitaires, il etait venu acheter la liberte des cent cinquante esclaves francais de Meknes. Son recit campe pour la posterite un roi sanguinaire et detaille les tractations epiques - et infructueuses - d'une poignee de redempteurs en terre d'Islam. Un melange unique de mission humanitaire et de rachat religieux a la fin du siecle de Louis XIV, sur fond de piraterie barbaresque. L'Histoire de ce livre, dissimulee sous le nom du sultan du Maroc Moulay Ismail (1646-1727) plus prompt sans doute a seduire le lecteur de 1714 deja instruit de le cruaute legendaire et de la gloutonnerie sexuelle. Pour temperer l'aridite de ces tractations le P. Busnot intercale habilement des tableaux sur Mouley Ismail et sa cour et des recits d'evasions d'un grand interet documentaire. Parmi les tableaux, celui de la vie, des aventures et de la mort tragique de Mouley Mahamet fils de Mouley Ismail. Pour Turbet-Delof: cette "Histoire" n'a-t-elle pas contribue, plus que tout autre document contemporain, a l'extension de ce qu'il n'est pas exagere d'appeler la legende de Mouley Ismail." Joint du meme: Recits d'aventures au temps de Louis XIV. Paris, Roger Pierre 1928; in-8 Introduction et notes par Mola. Parmi ses quatre femmes officielles, se trouve Lalla Khenata qui etait la fille du grand Cheikh Bakkar des M'ghafra de Chenguit. Belle, intelligente, lettree, elle etait l'une des rares personnes dont Moulay Ismail admettait remarques et conseils. Moulay Abdallah etait son fils. Lalla Aicha Moubarka est egalement l'une de ses quatre femmes officielles, elle etait tres influente envers Moulay Ismail et faisait tout pour introniser son fils, Moulay Zidan, qui est finalement tue sous les ordres de son pere en 1707. Lalla Aicha Moubarka ou Zaidana, etait surnommee l'Imperatrice du Maroc par les Europeens. Cet ecclesiastique ne a Rouen effectue plusieurs voyages au Maroc dont il tira divers ouvrages historiques destines a convaincre les lecteurs d'aider financierement au rachat des captifs chretiens. C'est apres trois voyages au Maroc, effectues en 1704, 1708 et 1712 qu'il entreprend la redaction de son ouvrage sur l'Histoire du regne de Mouley Ismael, roi de Maroc, Fez, Tafilet, Souz, etc..., publie en 1714. Au cours de ces trois voyages, il cherche, avec les peres Mercedaires et Trinitaires qui sont avec lui, a negocier la liberation de quelque cent cinquante esclaves francais qui se trouvent alors a Meknes. Son ouvrage relate ces negociations infructueuses et decrit Moulay Ismail comme un roi sanguinaire, dans le contexte des enlevements de chretiens que menent alors les pirates marocains."
