text_original: 70 ITALY, 1313 11578 71 In the City States of Tuscany and Lombardy, this century, still full of feuds and party strife, was particu  larly marked by the rise of "tyrants," or supreme Tyrants rulers, in one town after another. The tendency was for the head of the faction for the time being to gain sway by his warlike successes or skill in government, unless his subjects, tired of despotism, were able to shake them  selves free from his control.
