Both young men were already tough and experienced soldiers; but they realized, as had Gianpaolo, that they lacked the strength to defy the armies Pope Leo had assembled to send against Peru-gia. Their departure left the city undefended against Gentile Baglioni, who returned under the special favor of the Pope and ruled Perugia according to the instructions of a papal legate.
