Therefore, when he was told that these people had confessed Christ for centuries, he did not know what to think about the Knights of the Cross; and when he learned that Lithuania was baptized by the command of the late queen, his surprise and sorrow were boundless.
They ended by again invoking the aid of Lithuania. On hearing of this outbreak the despot feigned surprise. Groans broke from his lips, as if he felt that he had been basely used.
