Frederick, in February 1249, fires his advisor and prime minister, the famous jurist and poet Pier delle Vigne, on charges of peculation and embezzlement.
Some historians suggest that Pier was planning to betray the Emperor, who, according to Matthew of Paris, cried when he discovered the plot.
Pier, blinded and in chains, dies in Pisa, possibly by suicide.
