The Ottomans actually took hold of North Africa long before the British. The British started trading with them (and in turn the native Africans) before the Africans decided to sell them their criminals. That's how the slave trade started. Of course, the reason we keep thinking of kidnapped Africans being hauled and beaten into boats is because the African people ran out of criminals to give them and the British got greedy.

I'd argue that this isn't really medival (like you've said in the title) but more like early renaissance, but it still sounds amazing!
