Book label of William Salloch, Ossining, New York ***** The historical basis of this play is the siege of Vienna in 1532 by Suleiman the Magnificent (Solimán) and his support of the claims of John Zapolya (Juan Sepusio) to the throne of Hungary against the claims of Don Fernando, brother of Charles V. In the play Solimán challenges Carlos to settle the war by a duel; the play ends with Solimán deserting Juan Sepusio, who in turn begs the Emperor's forgiveness. To sustain interest, a romantic and comic sub-plot is introduced: a Galician soldier-lackey, Buscarruido (Noise Seeker) is pursued by an amorous hermaphrodite, Mari Bernardo.
