Cesare Borgia finally murdered him, together with three of his sons, when he had reached the age of sixty.

Less romantic but not less significant in the annals of tyranny is the story of the Trinci.

A rival noble of Foligno, Pietro Rasiglia, had been injured in his honor by the chief of the ruling house.

He contrived to assassinate two brothers, Nicola and Bartolommeo, in his castle of Nocera; but the third, Corrado Trinci, escaped, and took a fearful vengeance on his enemy.

By the help of Braccio da Montone he possessed himself of Nocera and all its inhabitants, with the exception of Pietro Rasiglia's wife, whom her husband flung from the battlements.
