Hugo of Moncada i Gralla

He was the second son of Francesc I de Montcada, first Marquess of Aitona and Count of Osona, and his wife, Lucrècia Gralla.

Hugo of Montcada decided to go to refuge in the port of Calais (under French control and, in theory, neutral).

Finally Charles Howard sent reinforcements with the Ark Royal's Panescalm boat to reduce the last resistance.

Hugo of Montcada was killed with an arquebus shot to his head, and Joan Setantí and other Catalans defenders died as well.

According to the work "Armada Invencible" by Cesáreo Fernández Duro, there is a description of the final attack and the death of Hugo of Montcada according to the statements of a slave of the Marquis de Santa Cruz (Volume I, page 118, document K.1467, item 18).
