Who's the guy in the doctored portrait? Looks a little familiar but I can't place him.
Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610.
He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, streched, disembowled, drawn and quartered.
Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy.
And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before his head died. His last words were, "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back.
