Who was nailed to an upsidedown cross?

and why did he want that?Who was nailed to an upsidedown cross?
Saint Peter, Christian apostle: according to tradition, Peter was crucified upside down at his own request (hence the Cross of St. Peter), as he did not feel worthy to die the same way as Jesus. Note that upside-down crucifixion would not result in death from asphyxiation.... ouch.
