The boys followed Marija to the right; they ran for so long that they figured the tunnel must have passed under the sea, right out of Birgu. Surfacing there, they saw a small castle on the tip. It wasn’t St Angelo but a much smaller, earlier, fort, the Castello a Mare.

There, militia soldiers in Medieval uniforms were gathered angrily in revolt, shouting against someone called Monroy. In 1421 the Spanish King Alfonso V had allowed Malta and Gozo to fall into the hands of a nobleman, Gonsalvo Monroy, for 30,000 gold florins “But instead of defending us against the Arab pirates, Monroy is killing us with his taxes! We can hardly feed our families, we’ve had enough!” said a man there. When the crowd learned that Monroy wasn’t even in the castle, but away in Sicily, they became even angrier and held his wife Costanza hostage, until eventually the Maltese bought their own freedom from their Aragonese feudal lord Don Gonsalvo Monroy
