History: a French ship (270 tons, 12 guns, 70 men); taken in fight on 30 July / 9 August 1696 off Limassol, Cyprus by the privateer Charles (Charles Pickering commanding), and brought into Larnaca. Following a complaint from the Levant Company that the ship was seized in violation of their agreements with Ottoman Emperor Mahmud I and would provoke reprisals, the vessel was seized on the orders of the English Consul at Larnaca under a letters patent issued by the High Court of Admiralty, and the ship was then taken to Livorno.
