About this book
The Story of Don John of Austria is told by Padre Luis Coloma, S.J. The text says the grave men of the Council were also divided, and three opinions principally prevailed. According to the text, some, with the Duque de Sesa, wished to take the fleet to sea to fight the Turk, wherever they might find him, as at Lepanto.
The Marqués de Santa Cruz, the text says, thought that the fleet should go at once against Algiers. In the text, the third opinion, which was that of D. John, preferred first to attack Tunis, as most easy and feasible. The text mentions a plenary jubilee which the Pope had granted to all on board the armada who had confessed, communicated, and prayed to God for victory against the Turk.
