23 This is the case, for example, with some Spanish documents <strong>of</strong> 1540,<br />
which relate the negotiations between the Spaniards and Sayyida al-<br />
Hurra after a raid by pirates on Gibraltar in which 'they took much<br />
booty and many prisoners' (Colonel de Castries, [R. G. M. E. de la<br />
Croix, due de Castries] Sources inedites de Vhistoire du Maroc, vol.<br />
1), pp. 89, 107.<br />

Sayyida al-Hurra has, in fact, been given a new lease <strong>of</strong> life with<br />
the interest shown in her by historians from northern Morocco, who<br />
today mostly speak Spanish. <strong>The</strong>y are rehabilitating her by writing<br />
articles and studies about her, <strong>of</strong>ten based on European sources. <strong>The</strong><br />
following are some examples: 'Abd al-Qadir al-'Afiya devotes a chapter<br />
to her in Al-hayat al-siyasiyya wa al-ijtima'iyya wa al-fikriyya bi<br />
Shafshawan (Political, social, and cultural life <strong>of</strong> Shafshawan) (Rabat:<br />
Ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong>ic Affairs, 1982), pp. 121ff; Muhammad Ibn 'Azuz<br />
