Exile
On July 15 1830, five days after his surrender to the French, Husseyn Dey left Algiers with his family, his harem and his personal fortune on the French ship Jeannne d'Arc. His request for permission to live in France having been refused by Charles X, he settled in Naples which was under the control of the Austrian Empire. He stayed in Italy for three years and died in Alexandria in 1838.
