Dante Alighieri (1265–1321), poet and philosopher. Dante was born in Florence. He first met his Beatrice in 1274; after her death in 1290, he promised her a poem ‘such as had been written for no lady before’, a promise fulfilled in the
Divina Commedia. He then studied philosophy, entered politics, and was banished from Florence in 1301. He became a supporter of the Emp. Henry VII, for whom he wrote the
De Monarchia; this argued the need for a universal monarchy to achieve the temporal happiness of mankind and the independence of the Empire from the Pope and the Church. Henry's death in 1313 shattered Dante's prospects. The last years of his life were devoted to completing the
Divina Commedia (q.v.).
