Petros Lantzas (Greek: Πέτρος Λάντζας; Italian: Pietro Lanza[1] or Spanish: Pedro Lanza;[2] c. 1533 - 26 February 1613), was a Corfiot Greek, spy, privateer and pirate in the 16th century Balkans who took part in several anti-Ottoman plots.[3][2] He initially worked for the Republic of Venice and from 1574 was employed by the Spanish Empire. Lantzas was involved in various plots to overthrow Ottoman rule in Greek-inhabited regions. In 1608, he devised a plan to assassinate the Ottoman sultan Murad III by placing a present containing explosives in front of him.
