Flagellation of Christ, Caravaggio,
ca. 1607, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen |
Vecto ordered a knight
(miles) Lazario to conduct an investigation. On the 5th of December
Lazario supervised the testimony of nine witnesses and had their testimony
recorded. Some of them reported that Mengho was a robber and had a bad
reputation. Others claimed that they thought that Mengho was good or that
they did not know him. Several testified that Mengho was suspected of the
crime. |
