Dely Ibrahim Dey was the 10th ruler and Dey of Algiers. He ruled five months after his predecessor Mohamed Bektach.
Rule
[edit]After a delay of payment, the janissaries revolted against the Dey Bektach and killed him along with his brother-in-law. His murderer would be elected and would leave Algiers in chaos, as he was described a "bloodthirsty brute."[1]
His reign would eventually end after he was caught raping the wife of an absent janissary, as he got shot twice by a slave but would manage to make it to the Jenina, barricading himself in one of the rooms trying to defend himself, he would die in there after a grenade was thrown inside from one of the upper balconies.[2][3]
