Dante Alighieri was exiled from Florence in 1302 primarily due to the political turmoil between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, factions supporting the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, respectively. Dante, a member of the White Guelphs, opposed the influence of Pope Boniface VIII and his supporters, the Black Guelphs. After the Black Guelphs seized power, they expelled Dante and his political allies, leading to his lifelong exile. This political conflict and personal loss deeply influenced Dante's literary works, particularly "The Divine Comedy."
