Details

John Windus (fl. 1725) was a British ambassador to Morocco who wrote a popular and influential account of his travels in that country in 1725. In 1720, he accompanied a diplomatic expedition to Morocco with Commodore Charles Stewart, who was given a small naval squadron and the authority of a minister plenipotentiary. They sailed from England on 24 September 1720 and travelled to Tetuan, where they met the Basha Hamet Ben Ali Ben Abdallah. The two sides agreed a peace treaty which was signed at Ceuta in January 1721, under which the Moroccans undertook to prohibit piracy and release English captives. They travelled on to Meknes where they met the King of Morocco, Ismail Ibn Sharif, and reconfirmed the Anglo-Moroccan alliance.
