Biography[edit | edit source]
Rise to power[edit | edit source]
Soon after taking control of Florence, Savonarola assigned nine men as his lieutenants. Each of these lieutenants had the duty to make sure the citizens would refrain from riots or revolutions. The priest did this by preaching to the citizens, in an attempt to gain their trust and make them loyal to his master.[1]
Death[edit | edit source]
The priest stood on top of the Duomo near the tallest point in Florence, preaching to the people below in an attempt to glorify Savonarola. His men were stationed all around the building, each of whom was ready to sound the alarm when they saw Ezio scaling the building.[1]
However, Ezio was able to climb the building unnoticed, and avoided the many guards stationed along his path. When he reached the top, Ezio assassinated the priest before any of his henchmen could prevent the assassination. In his dying moments, the priest explained that his strong faith had led him to support Savonarola, causing him to "lead his flock astray".[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In his sermon, the priest mentioned the "Rex Regum", which is a name for the philosopher's stone, a fictional alchemical component with the power to transmute metals into gold.
