Abstract

Th. creation of the signori. within the Romagna was obviously a defeat for the papacy in the political field. Yet in the same period, the Church won notable victories in terms of its religious doctrines and organisation. Widespread heresy was subdued; the anticlerical struggles of the communes were resolved; and the grants of vicariate ended by compromise a situation where political hostility to the papal curia could lead to a rejection of its ecclesiastical teaching. As a result, the fourteenth century saw a new and closer linking of all society with the institutions of religion, and the firm establishment of religious orthodoxy.

Before all and above all, I advise that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who has all power in heaven and earth, should be venerated and honoured.

Carl. Malatest. T. Giovann. Mari. Viscont.1

Rinaldo da Polenta was elected, though not consecrated, as archbishop of Ravenna in September 1321. Scarpetta, the natural son of Francesco II Ordelaffi, was bishop of Forlì in 1391. That Bishop Riccardo of Faenza (f. 1339) was the son of Alberghetto Manfredi is a myth; cf. Ughelli, Favent. Epsicopu., with Valgimigli, VII, 272. A natural son of Francesco Manfredi, however, was bishop of Trivento in the Regno; Azzurini, 129, n.5.
