Running quickly low on supplies and bereft of external help, the city's overlord Guecello Tempesta surrenders the city to Cangrande.

Cangrande makes his state entry to Treviso on July 18, the crowning moment in his long struggle to subdue the cities of the Trevisan Mark.

However, his triumph is marred, for he has become seriously ill as the result, according to contemporary accounts, of drinking from a polluted spring a few days before.
