Norman Davies Quotes

To Make His Point, Ivan Staged A Sensational Demonstration. Some Time Before Christmas He Had Arrested Two Lithuanians Employed In The Moscow Kremlin. He Charged Them With Plotting To Poison Him. The Accusations Against Jan Lukhomski And Maciej The Pole Did Not Sound Very Credible; But Their Guilt Or Innocence Was Hardly Relevant. They Were Held In An Open Cage On The Frozen Moskva River For All The World To See; And On The Eve Of The Departure Of Ivan's Envoy To Lithuania, They Were Burned Alive In Their Cage.50 As The Ice Melted Under The Fierce Heat Of The Fire And The Heavy Iron Cage Sank Beneath The Water, Taking Its Carbonized Occupants Down In A Great Hiss Of Steam, One Could Have Well Imagined That Something Was Being Said About Lithuania's Political Future.
