Pierre d'Aubusson

A probably imaginary portrait of Pierre d'Aubusson, from the work Histoire des chevaliers hospitaliers ... by Abbé Vertot, 1726

Pierre d'Aubusson (1423 – 3 July 1503) was a Grand Master of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, and a zealous opponent of the Ottoman Empire.[1]

Pierre probably joined the Knights of Saint John in 1444 or 1445, and then left for Rhodes.
