[edit] age

If he lived 1713-90, he couldn't have been 85 when he was killed, as the article states. SpookyMulder (talk) 18:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Miguel de Cervantes

This must be the sama man that Cervantes met in Algiers when he was a prisoner there... Cervantes made another attempt to escape in September 1577, but was betrayed by the renegade whose services he had enlisted. On being brought before Hassan Pasha, the viceroy of Algiers, he took the blame on himself, and was threatened with death; struck, however, by the heroic bearing of the prisoner, Hassan remitted the sentence, and bought Cervantes from Dali Mami for five hundred crowns. In 1577 the captive addressed to the Spanish secretary of state, Mateo Vazquez, a versified letter suggesting that an expedition should be fitted out to seize Algiers; the project, though practicable, was not entertained. In 1578 Cervantes was sentenced to two thousand strokes for sending a letter begging help from Martin de Córdoba, governor of Oran; the punishment was not, however, inflicted on him. Meanwhile his family were not idle. This can be read here: [1] --85.220.83.220 (talk) 13:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
