Also, I think I never heard of or read about Mr. Blas. The german wikipedia page about him isn't too short though, especially the history of his wounds seems more detailed documented than most other people.
I would however bet that not more than one in one-hundred-thousand people here would know who this person was. Pretty sure that's because of locality and curriculum, but still, I think I personally would've never gotten it with 20 questions alone.
Also, for everyone who's interested, in the german wiki page his death cause is described as 'he got sick with the plague shortly after the fights (in Cartagena) and died on the 7th of September'.
