Slave raid of Suðuroy

The Slave raid of Suðuroy was a slave raid by pirates from Northwest Africa that took place on Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands in the summer of 1629. It resulted in the abduction of over thirty people, mainly women and children, who were evidently not ransomed and lived their lives in slavery on the Barbary Coast of North Africa.
