Grand Master Luiz de Vasconcellos
Luiz de Vasconcellos was the 55th Grand Master of the Order of St John. He had proven his courage and bravery in several naval expeditions, which likely contributed towards his election as Grand Master, but he only managed to serve in the post for six months before dying in 1623.
