Batalha de Lepanto (battle of Lepanto-7 October 1571)

No séc. XVI as esquadras do Império Otomano pretenderam tranformar o Mediterrâneo no se Mare Nostrum. Para combater a expansão muçulmana formou-se a Liga Santa (Holy League) (Heiligen Liga) no campo Cristão. Filipe II de Espanha nomeou seu irmão D. Juan de Austria, capitão general das Forças Reais. Os restantes comandantes eram: Sebastiano Venier (Veneza) e Marcantonio Colonna (Estados Papais). Miguel Cervantes Saavedra perdeu o braço esquerdo, donde a designação 'el manco de Lepanto'; depois esteve cativo em Argel. Apesar da derrota no Golfo de Patras (Mar Jónico), nos arredores de Naupaktos, os Otomanos conquistaram parte do Norte de África.
