All unsuspecting what should old Fogliano suspect from one so loved and so deeply in his debt? they followed him to the chamber where he had secretly posted a body of his men-at-arms. There, no sooner had the door closed upon this uncle, and those others who had shown him so much affection, than he gave the signal for the slaughter that had been concerted.
This Oliverotto Eufreducci hereafter known as Oliverotto da Fermo was a nephew of Giovanni Fogliano, Lord of Fermo. He had returned home to his uncle's Court in the early part of that year, and was there received with great honour and affection by Fogliano and his other relatives.
His soldiers fell upon those poor, surprised victims of his greed, and made a speedy and bloody end of all. That first and chief step being taken, Oliverotto flung himself on his horse, and, gathering his men-at-arms about him, rode through Fermo on the business of butchering what other relatives and friends of Fogliano might remain.
