In 1569 the Beylerbey of Algiers, Uluç Ali, set off over land toward Tunis with 5,300 janissaries and 6,000 Kabyle cavalry from the Kingdom of Kuku and the Kingdom of Beni Abbes.[1][3]

Uluç Ali encountered the Hafsid sultan at Beja, west of Tunis, Uluç Ali defeated him in battle and conquered Tunis without suffering any great losses.[4] Mulay Ahmad III was forced to take refuge in the Spanish presidio of La Goletta in the bay of Tunis.

The Christian forces were able to recover Tunis in 1573[5] however the Ottoman forces under Uluç Ali conquered Tunis yet again in 1574.
