To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A secret con- sultation was held between the husband and brother of 214 BIANCA CAPELLO Isabella, in which her fate appears to have been sealed, for the last words spoken by Francesco were over- heard.
" When you have assured yourself of the shameful truth, bear ever in mind that you are a Christian and a 'gentiluomo. ' " He also placed at the disposal of Orsini a villa which had been a favourite resort of Lorenzo the Magnificent, outside the Porta Romana, and now called Poggio Imperiale. Isabel...la must have been surprised to find her husband so attentive and affectionate, for he had brought her a present of a couple of greyhounds, and also invited her to a great supper at the villa ; but she went thither without apparent misgiving, although it was afterwards remem- bered that she had seemed sad and restless that evening.
The next day it was announced in Florence that the great lady had died suddenly in the night of apoplexy, but the chroniclers of the day had little doubt that the unfortunate Isabella was strangled by her husband.
