Italian military officer, Marco Bragadin was gruesomely killed, by the Ottoman Forces, in 1571. He was first dragged around, with sacks of stone, on his back. He was then tied to a chair, and hoisted up a Turkish flagship. He was then tied to a column, and flayed alive. Then his skin was stuffed, and redressed in his military clothes, and was made to ride, on an ox around town. Finally, he was tied naked, to a column in the town square, and flayed again until he died.
