Summary

Basque corsairs, similarly to French and European corsairs, are subjected, in the 17th century, after the evolution of their legal statute dating from the Middle Ages, to certain rules that normalise their activity as auxiliaries of war delegated by the King. The end of the 17th century, marked by the wars carried by Louis XIV, will be the zenith of the Basque .Course. that, albeit simple, will contribute to the development and economic prosperity of a region.
