Quotes about the Martyrs of Otranto
The commandant, the archbishop, and his clergy, were singled out for the most horrible of all deaths, and sawn asunder. Need it be added, that they who revelled in cruelties so truly diabolical, spared not the altars of God, or the images of the saints, or aught that was holy and venerable.
Augusta Theodosia Drane, The Knights of St. John: with the Battle of Lepanto and Siege of Vienna (1858)
