Abstract :The Ottoman expansion into the Western Mediterranean in the sixteenth century created an intense rivalry with the Habsburg. This article examines this conflict from a different perspective, i.e. that of espionage. While on the one hand analysing the political changes in the Mare Nostrum in the 1530s, on the other, it scrutinizes the Neapolitan intelligence, the most important information-gathering service of Emperor Charles V. Furthermore, the article specifically concentrates on the contribution of espionage to the Emperor’s campaign in Tunis against Khayr al-din Barbarossa.
Keywords : Mediterranean Studies, Early Modern Espionage, Habsburg Ottoman Rivalry, Kingdom of Naples, North Africa
