I wonder whether we should include the putative Albanian origin at all. We have all sources speaking of Turkish origin beside the few cited here to support the "Albanian claim" (to be clear, beside the sources provided in the article and available at Google books, Britannica clearly states his father was a Turk, and Treccani, the Italian encyclopedia, like Britannica and all other national encyclopedias, makes no mention of even a possible Albanian origin). Then, if we want to reason with our head, we known he was born in Palaiokipos and that his father was from Giannitsa, that he was not of devshirme origin, and that he was not the son of a janissary, but the son of a sipahi. We have three sources for the Albanian claim across the board. I am positive that Bozbora does not mention Barbarossa at all. At least that should be removed. The rest are two books by Italian authors. Capponi is derivative of Panzanelli. The latter's is a translation of Heers, in which there is a casual mention, with Heers not providing a modicum of evidence for the claim, nor any analysis whatsoever. This is an extraordinary claim, and I believe it all might be a case of Wikipedia:Verifiable but not false.--Haldir Marchwarden (talk) 11:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

The Capture of Algiers (1516) was a military campaign carried out between May and September 1516 by Aruj Barbarossa and Khizr (Hayreddin) Barbarossa against Salim at-Toumi, the local ruler of Algiers. Supported by local Kabyle forces and Ottoman-affiliated troops, the Barbarossa brothers successfully seized control of the city. This event marked the beginning of lasting Ottoman political and military influence in Algiers and significantly altered the balance of power in the western Mediterranean [1][2][3][4].
