But how did it happen that a nobleman's child learned a doctor in the fifteenth century? After all, at that time the Inquisition executed many representatives of this profession.

Unserved insult and just revenge

Long before the beginning of the story in the Italian capital, at the time of the laying of the Temple of St. Peter, one Baron, who is of German origin, undeservedly insulted the physician Antonio Fioraventi. A few years later, by chance, this very gifted physician arrived at the home of the person who had offended him at the moment when his child could not have been born, although it was already time. The Italian wanted to repay the baron and insisted that Ehrenstein promise that his son would devote his life to the profession of a doctor, which was considered unworthy of a nobleman.
