Political exiles were a prominent feature of political life in
Renaissance Italy, often a source of intense concern to the states
from which they were banished, and a ready instrument for
governments wishing to intervene in the affairs of their rivals and
enemies. This book, first published in 2000, provides a systematic
analysis of the role of exiles in the political life of
fifteenth-century Italy. The main focus is on the experiences and
reactions of the exiles, and on how Italian states dealt with their
own exiles and those of other powers. Siena, notorious in the 1480s
for the numbers of her citizens in exile, is used as the model with
which other cities are compared. Such a detailed study of the
phenomenon of exile also provides alternative perspectives on the
nature and power of governments in fifteenth-century Italy, and on
ideas about the legitimacy of political authority and political
action.
