Isaac Brassard

Isaac Brassard (1620–1702) was a French memoar writer.

He fell victim to the Barbary slave trade after having been abducted by the barbary corsairs and sold in Alger, where he spent several years as a slave.

After having returned to France, he wrote a memoir of his experience as a slave.[1]
