JAUREGUI, JUAN (1562-1582)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 283 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAUREGUI, JUAN (1562-1582) , a Biscayan by
birth
 , was in 1582 in the service of a Spanish merchant, Gaspar d'Anastro, who was
resident
  at Antwerp. Tempted by the reward of 8o,000 ducats offered by Philip II. of Spain for the assassination of William the Silent, prince of Orange, but being himself with-out courage to undertake the task, d'Anastro, with the help of his cashier Venero, persuaded
Jauregui
  to attempt the murder for the sum of 2877 crowns. On Sunday the 18th of
March
  1582, as the prince came out of his dining-room
Jauregui
  offered him a
petition
 , and William had no sooner taken it into his hand than Jauregui fired a
pistol
  at his head. The ball pierced the neck below the right ear and passed out at the left jaw-bone; but William ultimately recovered. The
assassin
  was killed on the spot.
