Parts of this I had seen before, other parts not.
The bit I don't like is that he tried to escape
from a tower on two occasions, and on both occasions
the rope broke and he fell down and broke one of
his legs. It gives a strong suspicion that two 
different versions of the same 'hearsay' story
have merged into one. But maybe I am too skeptical.
It would be nice if the sources of this version 
could be found out.
At least it gives his death date at 1597 which,
as I understand from Rafal, is now the more accepted
date.

Cheers, Rene
