Don John of Austria, or Passages from the history of the sixteenth century, MDXLVIIMDLXXVII . ness, the crime which he had himselfordered as the pretext for Perezs disgrace and celebratedimprisonment. assassins. Only a few days before the unfortunate man had received a blow on the head; and a Morisco slave of his own had lately tried to poison him, for which she was hanged, having confessed the crime she committed, as she said, in order to poison her mistress [Escovedos wife], who had beaten her. But it was generally supposed that there was some more powerful cause than this ; and many suspect that the blow comes from Flanders, or at least from some soldier of importance who had been offended by the secretary. The event has happened just as he was about to return to Flanders to quiet Don John with good hopes and to arrange many things; and it is supposed his death will make a great disturbance, on account of his skill in business and his knowledge of the most secret affairs of the government. Extracted by me, in October 1861, from the original in the royal archives at Florence.. CHAPTER X. AFFAIRS OF THE NETHERLANDS ; FROM THE END OF APRIL TOTHE DEATH OF DON JOHN OF AUSTRIA ON THE 1ST OFOCTOBER 1578.
