Pope Alexander VI excommunicates Savonarola on May…

1497 CE

Pope Alexander VI excommunicates Savonarola on May 12, 1497, and threatens the Florentines with an interdict if they persist in harboring him, but, when this censure is published in Florence, a defiant Savonarola denies its validity.

His intransigence soon alienates his supporters in the Florentine government.
