Prince: Michele Rinieri Lorenzo
Wife: Caterina Maria Annunziata
DS: Pietro Cristofano [Tancredi] "Perotto"
DD: Giovanna Maria Elisabetta "Vanozza"
DS: Leonardo Giancarlo Luca
Of the illustrious Royal House of: Manco
In the City-State of: Salvi
When Caterina cautiously approached her husband and told him that she was expecting, it was all Michele could do to hide his nervousness. But fortunately, this pregnancy was a surprisingly easy one, and both Caterina and the child she was carrying experienced no problems or complications. It was a tremendous relief for Michele, as he was positively swamped by pressing business left and right. Vico had recently returned from a border skirmish, and he brought with him reports from the east. There were rumours that the neighbouring city-state of Tellino was planning to wage war, and Vico feared that it would be against their hometown.
It was during one of these hushed conversations with his brother that Michele was interrupted by a breathless Perotto. Caterina was starting to go into labour, and Perotto, panicking, ran to his Pappa for help. Michele immediately went to attend to his wife, while Vico fetched the midwife and grabbed a doctor along the way as well, just in case. When the boy was born, wailing and healthy, Michele had wanted to name him after Vico, but Vico declined, asking instead that the child be named after a friend of his who had recently succumbed to consumption, Leonardo Scierra.
Palazzo Manco rejoiced over young Leonardo's birth, but alas, there is no rest for the wicked. Within the same month, Giacomo Grazia, one of Vico's fellow condottieri stopped by on his way from Tellino and brought with him an unhappy dose of bad news. Apparently, the Doge of Tellino was searching for people to fight his war for him, and Giacomo had come to meet him. But when he found out that the war was to be held against Salvi, he declined the offer and set off to find another employer. While Michele had not known Giacomo for long and had little reason to believe his tidings, Vico and Giacomo were once fellow mercenaries under Leonardo Scierra's leadership and had repeatedly put their lives into each other's hands in the heat of battle. Vico persuaded his brother to hire him to defend their city for when Tellino would wage their attack, and Michele agreed, asking that both men also discreetly spread word for other condottieri to come to Salvi where work awaits them.
Mutatis mutandis. Si non confectus, non reficiat.
