BTW, this book is a rollicking good time. Lorenzo the Magnificent was wounded, so the entire plot failed on its first day. Lorenzo, being the brilliant mind, carried out a political flanking maneuver that kept him alive, and he bided his time, until one by one his erstwhile enemies were removed, either by time or by others. The day of the attacks, the Florentine people were so enraged that they chased the troops sent in to carry out the coup, and basically just lynched or beat to death the various church officials and so forth who had put together the plot. One of the conspirators was killed, buried, dug up, strung up dead, body was mutilated for a couple of days, then tossed into the Arno River. Oh, you know what? It's the following book that I read and is a rollicking good time:
