PACK, OTTO VON (c. 1480-1537)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 441 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
PACK, OTTO VON (c. 1480-1537) , German conspirator, studied at the university of
Leipzig
 , and obtained a responsible position under George, duke of Saxony, which he lost owing to his dishonesty. In 1528 he revealed to Philip, landgrave of Hesse, the details of a
scheme
  agreed upon in
Breslau
  by the archduke Ferdinand, afterwards the emperor Ferdinand I., and other influential princes, to conquer
Hungary
  for Ferdinand and then to attack the reformers in Germany.
Pack
  was sentto
Hungary
  to concert
joint
 
measures
  with John Zapolya, the opponent of Ferdinand in that country; but John, elector of Saxony, advised that the associates of Ferdinand should be asked to explain their conduct, and
Pack
 's revelations were discovered to be false, the copy of the treaty which he had shown to Philip proving to be a forgery. For some time Pack lived the life of a fugitive, finally reaching the
Netherlands
 , where he was seized at the request of Duke George. Examined under torture he admitted the forgery, and the government of the
Netherlands
  passed sentence of death, which was carried out on the 8th of February 1537. This affair has given rise to an acute controversy as to whether Philip of Hesse was himself deceived by Pack, or was. his assistant in concocting the
scheme
 .
