Raid on Bone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Raid on Bone was a hit and run operation by the Knights of Saint Stephen and Tuscan troops against the Algerian town of Bône in 1607.

470 Muslims were killed and 1,464 captured as prisoners.[1] The Tuscans suffered just 47 casualties. The enterprise was the greatest amphibious operation completed by the Order of Saint Stephen.[1]
