- Then came the shocking accusations—plotting against his own wife and father!
- Imprisoned for conspiracy, robbery, and treason, yet somehow, he kept landing on his feet.
- Married three times, including a controversial match that raised eyebrows at court.
 
Was he a reckless schemer, a lucky survivor, or just a product of his time? His story sounds more like historical fiction than reality!
