King's Narrow Escape From Conspirators At Cracow
An Ottoman-era report details six Confederates led by Captain Kocz witki ambushing a royal carriage near Cracow as the king fled armed attack. Two Heyduites died or were wounded, the king survived with two head wounds, and detachments moved to safety after the assailants planned to hand him to Czartorinski’s Confederates. The event triggers citywide shock before the king reaches his palace at four in the morning. Arrivals and ship notices follow with multiple vessels listed from New York to Archangel and Lisbon to Newfoundland.
