Abstract: Giovanni Bonello concludes his historical profile of Grand Master Hugues Loubenx de Verdalle. This segment details the criminal prosecution of Verdalle's nephew for embezzlement, debunks myths surrounding the low-stepped staircase at the Grand Master’s Palace by attributing it to Verdalle's severe gout, and documents his final illness, massive deathbed bequest to the Order, general amnesty of prisoners, and the highly elaborate, cardinal-level funeral protocols following his death in 1595.
