The wives, with their ‘multitude of poor Infants’, requested that Buckingham intercede with the King for their husbands. In March 1626, the Duke of Buckingham, Admiral of the Fleet, was presented with the ‘humble petition of the distressed wives of almost 2,000 poor Mariners now remaining most miserable captives in Sally in Barbary’.
