Monarchia (1700-50s) Monarchia, often called De Monarchia (Classical Latin: [deː mɔˈnarkʰɪ.aː], Ecclesiastical Latin: [dɛ moˈnarkja]; "(On) Monarchy"), is a Latin treatise on secular and religious power by Dante Alighieri, who wrote it between 1312 and 1313.
Dante took part in several attempts by the White Guelphs to regain power, but these failed due to treachery. Bitter at the treatment he received from his enemies, he grew disgusted with the infighting and ineffectiveness of his former allies and vowed to become a party of one.

In 1308 Corso was accused of plotting to overthrow the Florentine commune and take power as lord of the city with the aid of his father-in-law Uguccione della Faggiuola, a Ghibelline, and was condemned as a rebel and a traitor; he died on October 6, 1308, while attempting to flee the city after having been besieged in his house by an angry mob.
As a result, Dante in his Divine Comedy reserved a place in the ninth circle of Hell for the traitor Bocca degli Abati. [23] The Ghibelline commander Farinata degli Uberti is also consigned to Dante's Hell, not for his conduct in the battle, but for his alleged heretical adherence to the philosophy of Epicurus .
