Excerpt from The Rice Institute Pamphlet, Vol. 8: April 1921
Guelfs, the latter, the White Guelfs, eventually throwing in their lot with the Ghibellines.
The commencement of actual hostilities in Florence be tween the Blacks and the Whites was due to a street brawl on the evening of May-day in the year 1300, scarcely more than a month before the beginning of Dante's prior ate, between some of these same Cerchi and Donati. Two parties of young men on horseback, belonging to either side, while looking on at a dance began hustling each other. This soon led to serious fighting, during which one of the Cerchi had his nose cut off. From this time onward Violent out breaks between the two parties became frequent. It was in the midst of this electric atmosphere that Dante, who belonged to the more moderate of the two parties, the Whites, was elevated to the priorate.
