A few claimed they were lapsed Catholics and “repented” and were allowed to live, but the others, after having surrendered and had their hands tied behind them were hacked to death with knives and swords. Three years later, the French attacked Fort Caroline (near Jacksonville) beat the Spanish and put all the Spanish to the sword in revenge. Menendez reported his activities with great pride. The King of Spain had instructed him that it would be OK to kill and terrorize colonists from other countries competing for Florida. The Queen and the Priests thought it their duty to execute heretics. Menendez did what he was supposed to so civilly and religiously.
