 In 1612, a Spanish fleet of 4 ships under Fajardo's command intercepted Jehan Philippe de Castelane's vessel near Mehdya and took it to Lisbon (then part of Spain) and convicted the crew of piracy.Among the ship cargo, there was Sultan Zaydan's library, that Castelane took after not being paid for its transportation.Two years later the collection was transmitted to El Escorial for permanent storage, where most of it is still held.
