Hildebrand Horden (original) (raw)

On 18 May 1696 he was killed, at a young age, in a tavern brawl, by .

Before he was buried, it was observable that two or three days together several of the fair sex, well dressed, came in masks (then frequently worn) and some in their own coaches, to visit this theatrical hero in his shroud."
