John of Nepomuk: A 14th-century Czech martyr who was thrown off Prague's Charles Bridge into the Vltava River. Because of his death by drowning, he became the patron saint of bridges, protectors against floods, and guardians against drowning. Thousands of statues of him were erected on bridges across Central Europe, Germany, Austria, and Italy. ~VVVVV++~
