I should mention that much of the information in my tale was obtained through interviews with Mssr. Gugie himself, though unfortunately I did not take very good notes and some details may have been lost during the writing process. I will also admit that the above may contain certain minor factual errors. For instance, it was obviously only the friars, and not the monks proper, who rode out to help the Piedmont villagers.
Otherwise, I stand by what I have written.
