Sture fell into disgrace twice, due to Erik XIV's general distrust of the aristocracy[1] and his astrology-based fear that Sture might usurp his throne.[2] On 15 June 1566, after a death sentence Sture had received was commuted, he was publicly humiliated in Stockholm, where he was forced to ride a wretched hack through town with a straw crown on his head.[2] On 21 May 1567, returning from his final mission in Lorraine,[1] he was arrested again in Uppsala Castle. In what became known as the Sture Murders (Sturemorden), he was murdered in his cell three days later by Erik XIV in person.[3]
