1499:
1st November. The Madonna [Lady] of Imola collected her property and sent it here to Florence, and she also sent her daughters here, because the Pope, with the authority of the King of France, wished to take her state from her and give it to his son, Cesare. On which account the lady decided to stay there and defend herself.
(From the diary of Luca Landucci)
I realize I’m repeating myself here, but this is important. (This is as close as I can come to outright telling you it’s going to be on the midterm.)
