Grand Master Nicolas Cotoner
Nicolas Cotoner was the 61st Grand Master of the Order of St John between 1663 - 1680. His reign was marked by the usual naval expeditions against the Turks, and fearing a repeat of the Great Siege of 1565, he commissioned the talented engineer Count Valperga to build a series of defensive lines, known as the Cotonera lines.
