The Moroccan Emir Al-Mansur was aware of the Ottoman policy towards Morocco as he had witnessed the Ottomans assassinating his father, Muhammed Al-Sheikh Al-Mahdi, and the Ottoman repeated attempts to intervene in Moroccan affairs. Al-Mansur also witnessed the brilliance of his father and his father’s advisors in exploiting favorable international contexts to preserve Morocco independence, and the Ottoman help to his brother Abdul Malik in taking over the throne of Fez. The first touch between the Ottomans and Al-Mansur was after the Battle of Three Kings, and it didn’t go well.
