Note E49 — A RECORD OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE IMPRISONED COUNTESS LEONORA CHRISTINA. (continued 4)
F. E. (Fanny Elizabeth) Bunnett translation
The feast of St. Martin is supposed the proper time for killing pigs in Denmark. It is reported that when Corfitz Uldfeldt, in 1652, had published a defence of his conduct previously to his leaving Denmark the year before, he sent a copy to Peder Vibe, one of his principal adversaries, with this inscription:—
Chaque pourceau a son St. Martin; Tu n’échapperas pas, mais auras le tien.
