The senators and their servants that attended them, perceiving the astonishment of the conspirators, looked out of the windows, saw all the town in confusion, and heard Signor James de Pacis[51] and his accomplices crying out in the palace-yard, “_Liberta! Liberta! Popolo! Popolo!_” thinking by this means to have stirred up the people to take their part; but they were mightily mistaken, for the mob kept themselves very quiet; upon which James de Pacis and his adherents, despairing of success, betook themselves to flight. The governors and magistrates of the city, who were then in the palace, finding how matters went, immediately seized upon the five or six who had got up into the room, with a design to murder them and so get command over the city, and caused them to be hanged at the bars of the palace windows; and among them was the Archbishop of Pisa.[52] The senators finding the people unanimously declare for the House of Medicis, sent immediately to all the passes upon the road, to stop and apprehend all persons that were found flying, and to bring them before the senate. James de Pacis was presently apprehended, and with him an officer[53] of the Pope’s, who had the command of a brigade of men-at-arms under the Count Hieronymo[54], who was concerned in the plot. Pacis and his accomplices were hanged from the windows, but the Pope’s officer had the favour of being beheaded. Several more were discovered in the town (and amongst them Francisco de Pacis[55]), and all were hanged immediately; so that in the whole I think there were about fourteen or fifteen persons of quality hanged, besides servants who were killed in the town.[56]
