ABSTRACT
In the middle ages, and subsequently, persons of condition voyaging by sea in the Mediterranean often took out policies under which insurers guaranteed to pay a sum sufficient to ransom them if they were taken by corsairs. Agents in seaport towns frequented by pirates, whether Christians or Turks, were intermediaries under this system.2
