Villuppo
An old man who comes to see Hieronimo in his official capacity as Knight Marshall to seek justice for the murder of his own son. Drowning in grief and beginning to mentally unravel, Hieronimo corrects Bazulto and tells him that it is his son, Horatio, who has been killed. Hieronimo mistakes Bazulto for Horatio, and when Hieronimo offers the old man a handkerchief to dry his eyes, Hieronimo hands him Horatio’s bloody scarf. Like Hieronimo, Bazulto never gets justice for his son. “Go back my son, complain to Aeacus,” Hieronimo says to Bazulto. “For here’s no justice; gentle boy be gone.” The character of Bazulto highlights Hieronimo’s building insanity and bolsters Kyd’s argument that justice for the lower classes is often unobtainable.

Act 3, Scene 13
Quotes
And art thou come, Horatio, from the depth,
To ask for justice in this upper earth?
To tell thy father thou art unrevenged,
To wring more tears from Isabella’s eyes,
Whose lights are dimmed with over-long laments?
Go back my son, complain to Aeacus,
For here’s no justice; gentle boy be gone,
For justice is exiled from the earth;
Hieronimo will bear thee company.
Thy mother cries on righteous Rhadamanth
For just revenge against the murderers.
