1965? So he would have been over 300 years old? I know it was just a typo, but i like to point out blunders in posts, as people point out mines as well. But i would like to know more about this figure in history and what he did for what he stood for. Dying of gut disease is not a good way to go, but often most of the figures from history succumbed to illnesses before technology became what it is today.
