===========
He served Emperor Charles V and lived in the castle with his mother Marguerite de Baenst. He became acquainted with Antoine de Zaymenrt, a soldier and surgeon, but also a fervent astrologer and protestant convert. Charles V saw protestantism as a threat to his empire, and strongly condemned it. Those who ignored the ban would be put to death and their property confiscated.Antoine de Zaymert managed to convince Jean Estor and his mother to convert to the new religion. They foolishly made their conversion public, and soon found themselves under fire from the authorities. They sought refuge in the dungeon but finally had to surrender. The Council of Brabant found them guilty and condemned them to death. In spite of all their appeals they were secretly beheaded - a privilege reserved to noblemen - on January 5th 1548.Antoine Zayment, however, managed to escape but was forced to jump from a window and fell to his death. His body was devoured by crows.
