You'll find pairs of English dueling pistols as early as 1775 that are almost indistinguishable, but in 1575, when these things were supposed to have been made, a gunsmith was working fine when he was working in sixteenth-inches. They just didn't have the measuring instruments, at that time, to do closer work.

Sir Simon survived her nine years, and disappeared suddenly under very mysterious circumstances.

The Portuguese law preventing the subjects of any other nation from holding landed property unless they become naturalized, the country has neither the advantage of native nor foreign enterprise, and remains very much in the same state as our allies found it in 1575.

On June 12, 1575, William had married Charlotte de Bourbon, daughter of the Duke of Montpensier.
