Marco Antonio Bragadino was the Christian commander of forces at Famagusta who fell to the Islamic Ottoman Turks in August 1571. T.C.F. Hopkins, in his book "Confrontation at Lepanto", described Bragadino's demise as including flaying, being skinned alive, and having his corpse stuffed and sent to sultan. Lord Kinross, in his book '[The Ottoman Centuries]', writes that his body was dismembered and displayed for all to see, upon accusation for massacring the Turkish prisoners during the siege.
