NOTES

[1] See Morga’s account of the martyrdom of the Franciscans, in his Sucesos (Hakluyt Soc. trans.), pp. 78-84; and that by Santa Ines, in his Cronica, ii, pp. 273-581, 621-644.  The latter writer furnishes also biographical sketches of the martyrs (among whom was Pedro Baptista).  They were canonized in 1862.

Taiko-sama was a name adopted by Hideyoshi in 1591, when he made a partial abdication of his power in favor of an adopted son.  He died in September, 1598.

[2] This confraternity was founded (1594) at Manila by a priest named Juan Fernandez de Leon, who came to the islands in 1591.  The association was planned in imitation of that at Lisboa, and included prominent members of all the orders, as well as secular persons.  Its first presiding officer was Luis Perez Dasmarinas.  In conjunction with the Franciscans, the Confraternity of La Misericordia ("mercy”) administered the hospital for many years.  See Santa Ines’s Cronica, ii, pp. 200-215.
