in the year 1535. A small army had mustered in the town of Vesal in response to a recruitment

drive headed up by Jan von Galen, but the army had been disarmed and dispersed by

Henry Gereus on instructions from the Bishop Prince. King Jan had managed to dodge the pledge he had

made to forfeit his life if the people of Munster had not been saved by Easter Sunday by stating
