			Like most independent republics, Forlì became a military dictatorship at the end of the 13th Century and then was passed to the {{wiki\|House of Ordelaffi\|Ordelaffi}} family.

			In 1480, with the Ordelaffi fighting amongst themselves over the chain of succession, the [[Sixtus IV\|Pope]] stepped in and gave the city to his nephew, [[Girolamo Riario]]. This event ruined the Pope's plans: when Girolamo was killed, the city passed to his wife, [[Caterina Sforza]], the [[Amazons\|Amazon]] of Forlì, who fought tooth and nail to prevent the Vatican from taking control. Ultimately, however, Caterina was vanquished and Forlì passed into Church hands.
