6:53 "drowned in the English Channel, after his ship sank." Together with 140 other noblemen and 160 further passengers and crew. It would have been more, though some people wisely though about taking the next boat to England when they saw how everyone on board was already completely drunk because the young prince was throwing a party with free wine for everyone. The ship was the last to leave port very late and apparently crashed into a rock when the prince dared the captain to overtake the rest of the fleet. Don't drink and sail.
