Ricoldo stressed that nuns enslaved as concubines mothered the worst Muslim tyrants
Evidence
Ricoldo was very conscious of the carrying away of the women and children as prisoners, of their selling dearly, of their being first triumphantly paraded through the cities of Islam, of the despatch of some as gifts to different kings; above all he thought of the fate of nuns, used as concubines, who became the mothers, as he several times insisted, of the worst Muslim tyrants. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 735 (
