From Geneva he went to Strasburg, where he was held in high esteem by Martin Bucer; at the latter's request. Diaz accompanied him to the diet of Ratisbon, December, 1545. Pietro Malvenda, who was present at Ratisbon, tried everything to bring Diaz back to the Church of Rome, but in vain. At last Malvenda succeeded in influencing Diaz's brother Alfonzo to commit fratricide. Alfonzo, 'who was an officer at the papal court, hastened from Rome, and perpetrated the foul deed at Neuburg-on-the-Danube, March 27, 1546. In Germany this fratricide produced general horror; but the emperor Charles V and the pope approved of it, and the murderer was not punmished. He however'committed suicide at Trent in 1551.
