But he was eventually forced to flee to Scandinavia. He was captured in September 1567 near the Norwegian coast. His dalliance – and subsequent spurning of – the Danish woman Anna Rustung (and departing with her dowry) lead to his undoing there. Anna pursued a case against him, prolonging his stay in the Bergenhus (a monastery-turned prison in Bergen, Norway), and resulting in his permanent imprisonment (first at the Bergenhus, then successively at Malmö Fortress, Sweden, and finally at Dragholm, in Denmark). After spending nearly a decade in the prisons of that era, it is perhaps understandable that he went insane before his death on April 14, 1578.
