<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we dive into the true story of the Corsair Republic of Salé — a powerful port city built by exiled Moriscos after their expulsion from Spain in 1609. Discover how these refugees turned a ruined fortress on Morocco’s Atlantic coast into a self-governed pirate state that raided European ships, defied empires, and reshaped the history of the Mediterranean. A tale of exile, resistance, and forgotten power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SOURCES :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Salé au XVIIème siècle, terre d'asile morisque sur le territoire atlantique marocain, by Laila Maziane&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Histoire du Maroc, by J.
