Having unsuccessfully attempted to hang himself, he subsequently, without torture, made a full and minute confession, and was executed on the 3rd June, 1594. Later in the year, one Pierre du Four, who had been a soldier both in the States and the French service, was engaged by General La Motte and Counsellor Assonleville to attempt the assassination of Prince Maurice.
'Tis full of wrangling and discord about religion, and yet there is the Turk with two hundred thousand men besieging a place forty miles from Vienna, which is the last outpost. God grant it may last!" Such was the aspect of the Christian world at the close of the year 1594 From the Death of William the Silent to the Twelve Year's Truce 1609 By John Lothrop Motley
Upon this I told him of the frescoes and charcoal drawings, and roughly described them. His fingers began to drum upon the table. "Have you any documents which might tell us when the wall was first plastered?" "The parish accounts go back to 1594 here they are: the Registers to 1663 only. I keep them in the vestry.
Towards the end of the year 1594, Buzanval, the regular French envoy at the Hague, began to insist more warmly than seemed becoming that the campaign in Artois and Hainault so often the base of military operations on the part of Spain against France should begin.
But in 1592 Lord Strange was created earl of Derby; consequently the troupe became for two years "The Earl of Derby's Men."

They were no longer in France; they had been banished on the 29th of December, 1594, by a solemn decree of Parliament, after John Chatel's attempt. They were demanding their return. The pope was demanding it for them.
From 1589, when the English Queen had deliberately dislocated the plans of Drake's Lisbon expedition, changing it from a great political stroke into an unsatisfactory raid, till the closing months of 1594 when once again a decisively damaging blow was dealt to Philip's naval schemes, the war had given ample occasion for stirring deeds of valour and brilliant feats of arms, but the scheme of operations throughout had been narrow and shortsighted.
Three years afterwards, the English reached the coasts of Nova Zembla, and heard of, if they did not arrive at, the Straits of Waygats. The next attempts were made by the Dutch, who were desirous of reaching India by a route, in the course of which they would not be liable to meet with the Spaniards or Portuguese. They accordingly made four attempts between 1594 and 1596, but unsuccessfully.
