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

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.
