Castruccio takes part in a hawking party in Chelsea. Tempers flair, and one of the nobles strikes Castruccion in the face after a sarcastic remark. Castruccio replies "by blood, and not by words, are blows to be avenged!" then "drew his stiletto, and plunged it into the bosom of his adversay" (95). King Edward saves him from retribution, but send him to a vessel headed to Holland by way of the Tower. The barons seize Alderigo, intending for him to take the punishment before Edward pardons him. This seems to me an interesting comparision to Victor, as so often Victor's friends and family faced the consequences of his actions.
