Early Modern Diplomacy<p>Under this great hill I lie buried <br> <br>Mighty elephant which the King Manuel <br>Having conquered the Orient <br>Sent as captive to Pope Leo X. <br>At which the Roman people marvelled, -- <br>A beast not seen for a long time, <br>And in my brutish breast they perceived human feelings.

Pope Leo called in his own doctors, who diagnosed angina due to the shortness of breath. The animal was also suffering from constipation, and the doctors decided to treat it with a laxative, which, in accordance with common <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlyModern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>earlyModern</span></a> practice, was enriched with a large amount of gold and administered to the elephant in a high dosage in view of its size. The treatment was ineffective; the animal died on 8 June 1516 and was interred in the Cortile del Belvedere. His skeletal was discovered in 1962 during construction work on the cooling system.
