As "a man of a noble house, great and rich",<ref name=barefoot />{{rp|599}} [[Salvestro de' Medici]] was a lesser known cousin to the famous [[House of Medici]] banking family. He was blamed for causing the rebellion of the Ciompi by his peers (such as Alamanno Acciaioli, who was part of the Signory that brought the papal war to an end).<ref name=barefoot />{{rp|593}} Salvestro made an error in his struggle against the Guelf party, thus spoiling his family image as well as others of similar rank, "subjecting them to the rashness of the excited multitude".<ref name=barefoot />{{rp|599}}
