The neatly written parchment containing the municipal statute confirming Ascanio's appointment, which is dated January 1, 1495, is still preserved in the archives of the city.

At the beginning of the year 1499, however, Alexander again assumed control of Nepi by compelling the castellan, who commanded the fortress for the truant Ascanio, to surrender it to him.

He now invested his daughter with the castle, the city, and the domain of Nepi.[66] September 4, 1499, Francesco Borgia, the Pope's treasurer, who was also Bishop of Teano, took possession of the city in her name.
September 25th Alexander himself, accompanied by four cardinals, went to Nepi.

In the castle, which he had restored, he met Lucretia and her husband, and also her brother Don Giuffre.

He returned to Rome almost immediately--October 1st.
