After the failed attempt to rescue them from the insula Mattei in Rome, Frank and Giovanna Stone were moved to the Castell de Bellver on the assumption that they would be beyond the reach of would-be rescuers, even if those rescuers learned that they were there. However, in July of 1635, they were rescued by a force which included Estuban Miro, Harry Lefferts, Thomas North, and Owen Roe O'Neill, and which made use of one of Miro's airships.

| - After the failed attempt to rescue them from the insula Mattei in Rome, Frank and Giovanna Stone were moved to the Castell de Bellver on the assumption that they would be beyond the reach of would-be rescuers, even if those rescuers learned that they were there. However, in July of 1635, they were rescued by a force which included Estuban Miro, Harry Lefferts, Thomas North, and Owen Roe O'Neill, and which made use of one of Miro's airships. In order to leave as few clues as possible, the rescuers set off a large number of gunpowder kegs in the castle, using fuses that gave them time to leave. In addition to that, the airship had had to dump some reserve fuel kegs to lighten its load. This resulted in an inferno that essentially left the Castell de Bellver a gutted shell.
