While Alexander and Saint Paul, ancient Ephesus and medieval Rhodes, the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem and Ottoman janissaries are deserving subjects of interest, this part of the world is notable, as well, for a wealth of accomplished seamen. Alcibiades, Barbarossa, and Turgut Reis come quickly to mind. Another was Philippe Prévost de Beaulieu-Persac, Knight of Santo Stefano. Born ca1585 on the western coast of France to a noble family, Prevost was slated by birth to see his elder brother inherit family titles and estates and to be left to make his own way in the world. He did so admirably, first acquiring a vessel cast aside during the war of Dutch secession from Spain. Forced by a lack of wherewithal to compensate the crew, he embarked on a career as a corsair, profiting at the expense of France's enemies. Trading up, by 1609 he commanded Lune, a 50-gun square-rigged frigate, and was of sufficient renown to be commissioned by Henry IV of France to lead an expedition to Tripoli on the North African coast where he destroyed that city's corsair fleet. That same year he was made a knight of Santo Stefano. The Knights of Santo Stefano were a Benedictine order created by the de Medici dukes of Tuscany to counter Ottoman influence in the Mediterranean. Later in 1609 Prevost and Lune were to be found prowling the Turkish coast east of Gocek where he put a Turkish squadron to flight, Lune acquiring the name Flying Dragon among Turks. Still later he was to be found at the other Tripoli, then Ottoman, now Lebanese, where he again put a Turkish squadron to flight. Philippe Prevost was eventually to become even more famous in 1627 at the French defeat of the Duke of Buckingham before La Rochelle, the same Duke of Buckingham later immortalized in Dumas's The Three Musketeers. Philippe Prevost de Beaulieu-Pernac, one of the world's great seamen making history at the crossroads of history.
