Martin de Redin
Fra Martin de Redin (Pamplona 1579 - Malta 1660) was a Spanish military and politician.
He became Grand Prior of the Order of Malta of Navarra in 1641, and Viceroy of Sicily in 1656.
He was elected Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller in 1657 after the death of Juan de Lascaris-Castellar. During his rule, 13 coastal watch towers were built around the coast of the island of Malta to create a line of communication around the island. He also created a corps of 4000 Musketeers, and brought in food and supplies from Sicily, when Malta suffered a shortage during his reign.
