Thereafter he confiscated to his own uses the property of those whom he had murdered, and of those who, more fortunate, had fled his butcher's hands.

He dismissed the existing Council and replaced it by a government of his own.

Which done--to shelter himself from the consequences--he sent word to the Pope that he held Fermo as Vicar of the Church.
