The man who should kill Lorenzino was, further, to enjoy amnesty from all offenses and to exercise full civic rights; he was promised exemption from taxes, the privilege of carrying arms with two attendants in the whole domain of Florence, and the prerogative of restoring ten outlaws at his choice.

If he captured Lorenzino and brought him alive to Florence, the reward would be double in each item.

There was enough here to raise cupidity and stir the speculative spirit.

Cecco Bibboni shall tell us how the business was brought to a successful termination.[225] [Footnote 225: For the Italian text see _Lorenzino de'Medici_, Daelli, Milano, 1862.

The above is borrowed from my _Italian Byways_.] 'When I returned from Germany,' begins Bibboni, 'where I had been in the pay of the Emperor, I found at Vicenza Bebo da Volterra, who was staying in the house of M.Antonio da Roma, a nobleman of that city.
This gentleman employed him because of a great feud he had; and he was mighty pleased, moreover, at my coming, and desired that I too should take up my quarters in his palace.' Bibboni proceeds to say how another gentleman of Vicenza, M.Francesco Manente, had at this time a feud with certain of the Guazzi and the Laschi, which had lasted several years, and cost the lives of many members of both parties and their following.
