The Victors of Lepanto

Memory Eternal to those who died defending Christendom! This is out of sequence because of the significance of today's date.

From The Mad Monarchist (7 October 2011)


On this day The Mad Monarchist remembers the Battle of Lepanto. Seen above are the top commanders of the victorious fleet: (left to right) Don Juan of Austria (overall commander and leader of the ships of Spain), Marcantonio Colonna (commander of the ships of Papal Rome) and Sebastiano Venier (commander of the ships of Venice). We also remember all of those who contributed to the victory: The Kingdom of Spain, The Duchy of Savoy, The Republic of Genoa, The Papal States, the Knights of Malta and the Republic of Venice taking care to note that while the Ottoman Empire was 'down' they were by no means 'out' and remained a force to be reckoned with for some time to come.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
