Our Lady of Loreto's Victory

The Battle of Lepanto was a decisive victory for the Holy
League, and marked the reestablishment of the Christian
Empire in the Levant.
Don Juan and Doria led the battle to retake Tunis from the
Ottomans in 1573. The Ottomans retook Tunis in 1574 and
remained in power there.
In 1576, Don Juan was appointed Governor General over the
Hapsburg Netherlands. He led the capture of the city of Namur in 1577,
and defeated the Protestants in the Battle
of Gembloux in 1578.
After his victories, he was defeated at Rijmenam near
present day Brussels. After this defeat his health began to
deteriorate and he succumbed to a fever, dying on Sunday,
October 1, 1578. He was 31 years old.
Doria went on to lead expeditions against the Barbary
States in 1601. He also served as Commander of the Order of
Santiago, the Marquis of Tursi, and Prince of Melfi.
Venier was elected Doge of Venice in 1577, at the age of
81. He died on March 3, 1578. His remains now rest at the
Basilica di San Giovanni e Paulo.
