Events

Politics and world events

Italy

  • May 20 : Cola di Rienzo conquered the Capitol, with the help of the people drove out the city ​​nobility that was hated in Rome and proclaimed a republic based on the ancient Roman model. Di Rienzo based his claim to power in particular on a bronze tablet with the Lex de imperio Vespasiani from 69 that was found in an altar in the Lateran Church at the beginning of the year . It issues ordinances and laws to protect citizenship, ensures a certain degree of legal security and the restructuring of administration and finances. In fact, these measures are followed by an economic upswing and food prices are falling. Di Rienzo also found prominent admirers such as the poet and notary colleague Francesco Petrarca , who even fell out over it with his patrons, the Roman noble Colonna family.
  • Di Rienzo also calls for the sovereignty of the Roman people over the papacy and empire as well as the unification of Italy. So he makes himself with Pope Clement VI. as well as with the Roman-German king (and future emperor) Charles IV .
  • August 1st : Cola di Rienzo is ordained a knight with a solemn ceremony in the church of San Giovanni in Laterano. From then on he bears the self-conferred title "Candidate of the Holy Spirit, Knight Nicolaus der Gestrenge and Gracious, Liberator of the City, Zealot for Italy, Friend of the World, Sublime Tribune" . Its ostentatiousness and theatrical self-productions, in connection with tax increases imposed at the same time, soon become too much even for the Romans.
  • The originally hostile Roman noble families ally against the tribune, who only moves through the city in triumphal procession and dressed in an ancient Roman toga . On November 20, almost 5,000 aristocratic supporters attacked di Rienzo and his supporters at Porta San Lorenzo , but were repulsed. Almost 100 dead remain on the streets.
  • December 15 : After being exiled by the Pope, di Rienzo hastily leaves Rome.
