The Knights of Cardone were a Medieval order of chivalry. They are noted for their role in the Siege of Negroponte (1470).[1] Under the Venetian command of Admiral Pierre d'Aubusson the Knights of Cardone prepared for battle against Ottoman forces led by Mehmed II.[1] Unfortunately Venetian General Nicolo da Canale lost his nerve and ordered d'Aubusson to retreat which resulted in the loss of Negroponte, and the island of Euboea.[1] Subsequently during the Siege of Rhodes (1480), d'Aubusson and his Knights successfully defended against another Ottoman attack by Mehmed II.[2]
