piracy is either economic or political. economic being, this place had something of value, goods or whatever, and it was lucrative enough to be worth the risk of coming here and raiding to try to take it.
political would mean either the pirates were after land, trying to annex parts of the countryside for themselves, or they were representatives of some other government who came here to fuck around with this one
so that still brings us back to your question, but a better way of asking it is, what was here that was so valuable?
