Marco Antonio Bragadin

Marco Antonio Bragadin, Venetian lawyer and military officer (d. 1571)
Marco Antonio Bragadin, also Marcantonio Bragadin (21 April 1523 – 17 August 1571), was an Italian lawyer and military officer of the Republic of Venice.

Bragadin joined the Fanti da Mar Corps or marines of the Republic of Venice. In 1569, he was appointed Captain-General of Famagusta in Cyprus and led the Venetian resistance to the Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573). He was executed by flaying in August 1571 in contravention of negotiated safe passage after the Ottoman Empire took Famagusta, the fall of which signalled the end of Western presence in the Mediterranean island for the next three centuries.
