Also the battle raged on long after the beheading of Ali Pasha and the taking of the Sultana (Ottoman flagship). In fact, the Ottoman left wing almost turned the Christian right wing, and if they had, the Ottomans could very well have won the battle. I appreciate your sentiments mene, but mis-stating historical facts is not the way to go.
Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote was wounded in that battle.
Fortunately Andrea Doria and his ships held the seaward side of the line. Once the Galleasses broke the Ottoman center it became a rout.
