El Greco began working on the painting in 1577. He completed in in 1579 for the altar of the Cathedral of Toledo. The painting was a source of conflict between Greco and the administration of the Cathedral.

Holmes investigates the case and manages to foil a theft from a London bank, revealing all the secrets of the mysterious League.
