  Roger Di Flor - LoveToKnow 1911
ROGER DI FLOR, a military adventurer of the 13th-14th century, was the second son of a falconer in the service of the emperor Frederick II., who fell at Tagliacozzo (1268), and when eight years old was sent to sea in a galley belonging to the Knights Templars.
At the siege of Acre by the Saracens in 1291 he was accused and denounced to the pope as a thief and an apostate, was degraded from his rank, and fled to Genoa, where he began to play the pirate.
Roger was now created Caesar, but shortly afterwards the young emperor Michael Palaeologus, not daring to attack the fierce and now augmented bands of adventurers, invited Roger to Adrianople, and there contrived his assassination and the massacre of his Catalan cavalry (April 4, 1306).

 Almogavares
When the peace of Calatabellota in 1302 ended the war in southern Italy, the Almogávares followed Roger di Flor (Roger Blum) the unfrocked Templar, who entered the service of the emperor of the East, Andronicus, as condottieri to fight against the Turks.
Their campaign in Asia Minor, 1303 and 1304, was a series of romantic victories, but their greed and violence made them intolerable to the Christian population.
When Roger di Flor was assassinated by his Greek employer in 1305, they turned on the emperor, held Gallipoli and ravaged the neighbourhood of Constantinople.

 Andronicus II
He allowed the fleet, which his father had organized, to fall into decay; and the empire was thus less able than ever to resist the exacting demands of the rival powers of Venice and Genoa.
During his reign the Turks under Osman conquered nearly the whole of Bithynia; and to resist them the emperor called in the aid of Roger di Flor, who commanded a body of Spanish adventurers.
The Turks were defeated, but Roger was found to be nearly as formidable an enemy to the imperial power.

 HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH*
Of Raphael, his German biographer has said his career is comprised in four words, "he lived, he loved, he worked, he died young."1029  He was an attractive and amiable character, free from envy and jealousy, modest, magnanimous, patient of criticism, as anxious to learn as to teach, always ready to assist poor artists.
So it was with Machiavelli, who died with the consolations of the Church which he undermined with his pen, with the half-Pagan Pomponius Laetus of Rome and the infamous Sigismondo Malatesta of Rimini, who joined to his patronage of culture the commission of every crime.
Pastor also adduces the wills of the dying, in which provision was made for ecclesiastical objects, but these may indicate superstitious fear as well as intelligent piety.

The records of a patrol expedition of 1402, preserved in the Antico comune division of Genoa's Archivio di Stato, document a similar diversity among participants on a voyage that set sail from Genoa to counter piratical activity along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia.
In his Libro dell'arte di mercatura (The Book of the Art of the Merchant, 1458), the fifteenth-century Benedetto Cotrugli moreover advised future colleagues to be flexible in choosing their city of residence based upon the relative strength or weakness of Roman legal traditions within its walls.
Notarial documents from the Archivio di Stato of Genoa and Savona detail a steady trade in commodities, particularly salt, within the western Mediterranean basin that consistently brought together subjects of the Crowns of Castile, France, Catalonia-Aragon, and Naples, with residents of Genoa's Ligurian coastal towns.

For example, if Roger owns a book we can refer to the book either as 'Roger's book' or 'the book of Roger'; or if my wife has a cat I can refer to it either as 'my wife's cat' or 'the cat of my wife'.
This is by using 'di' for 'of', so that 'Peter's book' can only be translated as 'the book of Peter', and becomes 'la libro di Peter'; 'my wife's cat (the cat of my wife)' becomes 'la kato di mea spozino'.
Be very careful not to confuse 'de' with 'di'.
