Dante Alighieri was banished from Florence in 1302 due to his political affiliations with the White Guelphs, a faction opposing the ruling Black Guelphs. His involvement in Florence's political turmoil, particularly his role in the city's governance and his critical stance against corruption, made him a target for the opposing faction. After the Black Guelphs seized control, Dante was exiled, and he spent the rest of his life in various Italian cities, where he wrote many of his most famous works. His banishment profoundly influenced his writing, particularly "The Divine Comedy."
