ABSTRACT
Martin Perez and Juan de Aguirre had not forgotten Aguirre’s instructions, and, perceiving that the opportunity had arrived by reason of the confusion in the house, and steel ing their hearts for the act, they approached Don Fernando, and fired their arquebuses at him. They afterwards attacked him with their swords, and thus he fell dead at their feet, bringing his rebellion to an end, a fate which he might have averted had he taken proper precautions. He was scarcely twenty-six years of age, of good stature, well formed and strong of limb, with the manners of a gentleman, fine face and beard, slow to action, more kind than otherwise, and born in the city of Seville.
