The head of the government in Pisa was decapitated, and the town gave way to bloody warfare. "At this moment Castruccio appeared with his army on the hill of St. Giuliano: this sight pacified the combatants; they elected a new lord, and turned their powers towards resisting the common enemy." (370)
His mere presence placated the townspeople, showing the power and respect Castruccio commanded.
