Thus Girolamo Riario was murdered by his subjects at Forli (1488), and Francesco Vico dei Prefetti in the Church of S.Sisto at Viterbo[1] (1387).

At Lodi in 1402 Antonio Fisiraga burned the chief members of the ruling house of Vistarini on the public square, and died himself of poison after a few months.

His successor in the tyranny, Giovanni Vignate, was imprisoned by Filippo Maria Visconti in a wooden cage at Pavia, and beat his brains out in despair against its bars.

At the same epoch Gabrino Fondulo slaughtered seventy of the Cavalcabo family together in his castle of Macastormo, with the purpose of acquiring their tyranny over Cremona.

He was afterwards beheaded as a traitor at Milan (1425).
