Event
Lorenzo valla
An excellent lecturer, Lorenzo valla, has recently met Country Ruler, sparking the interest of the sovereign in his skills as a polemicist and philosopher. It seems the two got on together well, as Country Ruler afterward proposed the funding of a school for the writer and enlisting his skills in the Country Adjective Court Title.
Moreover, it would seem that Lorenzo valla has doubts regarding the ancient Donation of Constantine and he believes that he can prove the work is a forgery. If he is right, that would cause ripples in the Catholic world.

28historical_info = flavor_nap_pap.1.historical_info Lorenzo Valla was a 15th-century Italian humanist, who made many contributions to the Italian Renaissance, mostly at the service of King Alfonso V of Aragon in Naples, after he conquered it. Valla is best remembered for his criticism of the Donation of Constantine, a document upon which the Papal authority over the Catholic world was based, exposing it as a forgery, and humiliating the Papacy. Therefore, he is considered a founding father of textual criticism and Philology as an academic discipline.
