Dragut, a renowned Ottoman admiral, met his end on June 23, 1565. During the Great Siege of Malta, he led an assault on Fort St. Elmo, the island's main fortification. However, the fierce resistance of the Knights of St. John forced Dragut to retreat. As he was withdrawing, a cannonball struck him, mortally wounding him.
