Chamberlin paints a picture of Giangaleazzo Vicscounti, who during his lifetime increased the power of Milan until it dominated fourteenth century Northern Italy. One of the most criminal men of history, avaricious, adulterous, delighting in luxury, his political immortality was a matter of common knowledge but he was also a man of great intellectual gifts and a brilliant administrator and a shrewd rules.
