Besides those which will follow in these pages, it is enough to notice the murder of Giovanni Francesco Pico, by his nephew, at Mirandola ; the murder of his uncle by Oliverotto da Fermo; the assassination of Giovanni Varano by his brothers at Camerino ; Ostasio da Polenta's fratricide ; Obizzo da Polenta's fratricide in the next generation, and the murder of Ugolino Gonzaga by his brothers; Gian Francesco Gonzaga's murder of his wife; the poisoning of Francesco Sforza's first wife, Polissena, Countess of Montalto, with her little girl, by her aunt; and the murder of Galeotto Manfredi, by his wife, at Faenza .
There Polenta's eagle broods, And in his broad circumference of plume O'ershadows Cervia . The green talons grasp The land, that stood e'erwhile the proof so long And piled in bloody heap the host of France.
