Pierre d' Aubusson

Pierre d' Aubusson , 1423-1503, French soldier, a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, and grand master of the Knights Hospitalers (1476-1503). In 1480 he valiantly defended Rhodes against Ottoman Sultan Muhammad II. After the accession (1481) of Sultan Beyazid II , Aubusson gave shelter to Jem, Beyazid's brother. However, he soon sent Jem to France as a virtual prisoner and obtained a truce and a large annual pension from Beyazid in exchange for keeping Jem confined. In 1489 Aubusson ceded his valuable hostage to Pope Innocent VIII, who made Aubusson a cardinal and granted new privileges to his order.
