When Alfonso took the field, Lucrezia was to govern at the head of a Council of ten of the most important citizens –with Cardinal Ippolito by her side. But she would in practice be in sole charge herself, for the warlike Cardinal had already got out his breastplate and sword and was only too anxiously waiting for the opportunity to wear them.
