…after another long siege, Faenza.
The people of Forlì (which keeps its Ghibelline stance even after the collapse of Hohenstaufen power) offer their loyal support during the capture of the rival city: as a sign of gratitude, they are granted an augmentation of the communal coat-of-arms with the Hohenstaufen eagle, together with other privileges.
This episode shows how the independent cities use the rivalry between Empire and Pope as a means to obtain maximum advantage for themselves.
