Note 12 — Chapter IV · The Last Period of Toledo’s Story
Reading edition
The Archbishop of Zamora, Antonio de Acuña, a fierce comunero, commanded in the absence of Padilla, and was mighty profane in his method of war for an archbishop. After leading his troops against the King’s Castle of Aguila, he resolutely stormed the Cathedral gates and maltreated the resident canons. The insurgents held the cloisters and prevented the celebration of any church office during their stay. The unfortunate chapter was kept for three entire days and nights from sleeping or eating. What an incredible scandal in hieratic Toledo!
