— by WILLIAM STERR —The Black Guelph was a group of men who, in 14th century Italy, took it upon themselves to violently support the Pope against any adversary seeking to weaken the stranglehold the papacy had over the Italian principalities. Among their victims was the great poet, Dante Alighieri, who wrote “The Divine Comedy.” Dante was exiled from Florence and died in Ravenna.
