Dante Alighieri--from wiki

Dante did not pay the fine, in part because he believed he was not guilty and in part because all his assets in Florence had been seized by the Black Guelphs. He was condemned to perpetual exile; if he had returned to Florence without paying the fine, he could have been burned at the stake. (In June 2008, nearly seven centuries after his death, the city council of Florence passed a motion rescinding Dante's sentence.)[47] In 1306–07, Dante was a guest of Moroello Malaspina [it] in the region of Lunigiana.[48] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri
