Abstract
John Harrison was a significant figure in early Anglo-Moroccan relations, and made repeated visits to Morocco as a royal envoy. This article explores his career and places it within its broader context. A militant Calvinist, Harrison viewed Morocco as a potential ally against Spain and the Roman Antichrist, and dreamed of the conversion of its Moriscos and Jews, but his world-view proved alien to the early Stuart monarchs. The article further explores his wish to see British naval bases established around the Mediterranean, and his rare, principled condemnation of slavery, whether practised by Europeans or Moors.
