After losing the Battle of San Jacinto (where Texas won independence from Mexico, to the cries, "Remember the Alamo!") the Mexican general, Santa-Anna, tried to escape wearing a peon's clothing, but was found out because he kept on his silk underwear. After being captured, he begged Sam Houston's physician to give him opium for his nerves.
