5.) How did he die? •Although his work affected biology as much as it did make him famous, it brang him a lot of trouble! The people he was enemies with incriminated him of snatching boding for dissecting, and he was also incriminated of religious heresy (having an opinion in opposition to religious beliefs). At one point, he became so angry about what was going on, he eventually gave his studies all together. Eventually, he was given a good position at the royal court, but was ordered to make a pilgrimage, or journey, to the Holy Land (the Middle East) to make up for his heresies. It all came to a close when he died off the coast of Greece when his ship got wrecked in a storm.
