Berthold Orsini and Luca Savelli, Senators, 1347.

The Tribune's retirement was so little expected by the aristocrats that not until three days had elapsed did they venture into the city, now without a head. That he sought no vengeance on his enemies does honour to the heroic spirit of the aged Colonna; Cola's civic institutions were allowed to stand, his relatives suffered no persecution, S. Angelo, where he remained under the protection of the Orsini, was not attacked. Immediately afterwards, Bertrand de Deus made his entry into the city, of which he took possession in the name of the Church. He revoked all the decrees of the Tribune, restored the ancient forms of government, and made Berthold Orsini and Luca Savelli Senators. Luca represented the party of the Colonna, since Stephen no longer undertook the burthen of the Senatorship. The old man, crushed by misfortune, stood beside the grave of his son and grandson. Of his honoured race, scarcely any remained but Stefanello, son of the slain Stephen. He himself disappears from the history of the city, in which for more than half a century he had played so prominent a part. He died probably in the year 1348.

Restoration of the Papal power in Rome.

After the legate had set in order the civic government, he returned to Montefiascone, cited Cola as a heretic and rebel before his tribunal, and placed him under the ban.
