That's what Mendoza would do if he caught any one plotting against him. And that's what Alvarez should do, too, according to his lights, if he had the courage of his convictions, and of his education. I like to see a man play his part properly, don't you?
Brazil discovered by Pedro Alvarez Cabral, or Cabera; he takes possession of the country for the King of Portugal. Emperor Maximilian creates the Aulic Council, a court of appeal on decisions by other German courts. Joint conquest and partition of Naples by Ferdinand of Aragon and Louis XII of France. Sten Sture regains ascendency in Sweden.
