A counter-revolution on 4 April from the Fortress of São João Baptista resulted in the death of Araújo and Stockler to the palace of the Captains-General. During the context of this uprising, Almeida Garrett (who had recently founded the Coimbra masonic lodge "Sociedade dos Jardineiros" and was interested in firming-up the constitutional legality of the Revolution) encountered strong opposition from Stockler, who threatened to imprison him if he manifested publicly in favour of the Constitution. This period resulted in a heroic/comic poem "O X" that Garrett wrote, but did not complete, alluding to the Captain-General.
