The Venetian and Florentine commissaries were in Bologna at the time, and at first kept themselves within doors; but finding that the people, instead of favoring the murderers, assembled in the piazza, armed in great numbers, mourning the death of Annibale, they joined them; and, assembling what forces they could, attacked the Canneschi, soon overpowered them, slew part, and drove the remainder out of the city.
Discords of Florence Jealousy excited against Neri di Gino Capponi Baldaccio d'Anghiari murdered Reform of government in favor of the Medici Enterprises of Sforza and Piccinino Death of Niccolo Piccinino End of the war Disturbances in Bologna Annibale Bentivoglio slain by Battista Canneschi, and the latter by the people Santi, supposed to be the son of Ercole Bentivoglio, is called to govern the city of Bologna Discourse of Cosmo de' Medici to him Perfidious designs of the duke of Milan against Sforza General war in Italy Losses of the duke of Milan The duke has recourse to the count, who makes peace with him Offers of the duke and the Venetians to the count The Venetians furtively deprive the count of Cremona.
Annibal Bentivolii, grand Father of this Annibal who now lives, that was Prince in Bolonia, being slaine by the Canneschi that conspir'd against him, none of his race being left, but this John, who was then in swadling clouts; presently the people rose upon this murder, and slew all the Canneschi which proceeded from the popular affection, which the family of the Bentivolii held then in Bolonia: which was so great, that being there remain'd not any, now Anniball was dead, that was able to manage the State; and having notice that in Florence there was one borne of the Bentivolii, who till then was taken for a Smiths sonne: the citizens of Bolonia went to Florence for him, and gave the government of their City to him, which was rul'd by him, untill John was of fit yeares to governe.
Peace being restored to La Marca, the whole of Italy would have obtained repose had it not been disturbed by the Bolognese. There were in Bologna two very powerful families, the Canneschi and the Bentivogli.
Thus the duke's authority was sufficient to prompt the enterprise, but his force was not at hand to support it. The tumults being settled by the death of Battista, and the flight of the Canneschi, Bologna still remained in the greatest confusion.
