| | The 14th and 15th Centuries: The Church in Moral Crisis |
 | | The deadlock was broken by the logic of demonstrating to Colonna and Orsini alike that neither of them needed to prevent the other from winning. | | | An order went out that the Colonna women and children were to be killed or sold into slavery. | | | Boniface then announced a religious crusade against the Colonna, using money from all over Europe which had been intended to finance the Crusades in the Holy Land to buy the Knights Templar to crush the Colonna strongholds. |

| | They and their adherents had already been excommunicated and put under the ban of the Church; they had been stripped of all dignities and privileges; their property had been confiscated; and they were now by this bull placed in the position o enemies, not of the Pope alone, but of the Church Universal. | | | The Colonnas, finding Rome unsafe, had withdrawn to their strong town of Palestrina, whence they could issue forth at will for plunder, and where they could give shelter to those who shared in their hostility toward the Pope. | | | This was the `lunga promessa con l'attender corto'; for, while the Colonnas were retained near him, and these deceptive hopes held out to them, Boniface sent the Bishop of Orvieto to take possession of Palestrina, and to destroy it utterly, leaving only the church to stand as a monument above its ruins. |

| | After three days' captivity he was released by the town's people, but the agitation he had undergone caused his death soon after, on October 11 1303. | | | Boniface VIII meddled incessantly in foreign affairs, and put forward the strongest claims to temporal as well as spiritual supremacy. | | | His bitterest quarrels were with the emperor Albert I of Habsburg, with the powerful family of the Colonnas, and with Philip the Fair of France, whom he excommunicated in 1303. |

| | Most of Colonnas works are for the church, including settings of the psalms for three, four, five and eight voices, and several masses and motets. | | | Colonnas style is for the most part dignified, but is not free from the inequalities of style and taste almost unavoidable at a period when church music was in a state of transition, and had hardly learnt to combine the gravity of the old style with the brilliance of the new. | | | The emperor Leopold I. received a copy of every composition of Colonna, so that the imperial library in Vienna possesses upwards of 83 church compositions by him. |
