Lorenzo had a girlfriend named Lucia. He got betrothed to her, but a rich nobleman got between them and said they couldn't get married. They tried to any way but it didn't work and they had to flee their village.
They went to a Nun who said she would help them stay safe until a time would come that they could get married. She housed Lucia and Lucia's mother who had come with her, but she sent Lorenzo to a Monastery in Milan. When Lorenzo arrived in Milan he found a riot going on and deciding to see what it was all about, set off for center city. The present year was not a good year for the crops and there was a large famine raging about the land. The common people thought it was all the fault of the bakers and it just so happened that the day when Lorenzo arrived, they decided to attack all the bakeries and get as much flour and bread as they could. At the days end Lorenzo went to an inn where he got a drink and some dinner. He wasn't normally a big drinker, but that night he drank more and more until he was very drunk. The innkeeper said that Lorenzo needed to give his name and where he was from, but Lorenzo didn't want to. Lorenzo slept in the inn that night and in the morning he got a big surprise. There were too police men and one other man that Lorenzo had seen the night before. They said he needed to come with them to court. They thought he was a ringleader of the riot that had occurred the day before. On the way to the courthouse he was able to get away and he ran as fast as he could to get away. That night he came to an inn where he ate and when he was done got on his way again.
