....sei troppo buonoAd Arcore il vertice a sorpresa con i falchi Ghedini al Cavaliere: farai la fine di Silvio Pellico
rischia di fare la fine del duca di Joyeuse, invece
His massacre of 800 Huguenots during a campaign in Poitou (the massacre de Saint-Eloi, 21 June 1587) incurred the displeasure of the King. He was received coldly at court and, anxious to be restored to Henry's favour, led royal troops against the king's arch-enemy, Henry of Navarre. .
He suffered a defeat at the hands of the Huguenots in the Battle of Coutras and was taken prisoner. Although he offered a ransom of 100,000 écus, Joyeuse was killed in revenge for the massacre of Saint-Eloi, and also because he had proclaimed no quarter, issuing orders before the battle to kill wounded and prisoners. With him was killed his 18-year-old brother Claude, lord of Saint-Sauveur.
un colpo di pistola è poco !!
....ritengo piu' adatta una fine come quella della duchessa Romilda
igitur dira proditrix patriae tali exitio periit, quae amplius suae libidini quam civium et consenguineorum saluti prospexit
(Paolo Diacono, Historia Langobardorum, IV, 37)
