Charles of Anjou and St. Thomas Aquinas?

[gamesport]

So i’m reading St. Thomas’ his wiki page and it says:

" Dante also asserts that Aquinas died by poisoning, on the order of Charles of Anjou[42] Villani (ix. 218) cites this belief, and the Anonimo Fiorentino describes the crime and its motive."

Can anyone direct me to an English tranlation of Fiorentino description? or perhaps summarize Fiorentino’s account of this crime and its related motive .

I have this book in pdf format, but it is in Italian. Perhaps if you know where in the book it is located I could have my sister-in-law translate that section

Thanks for the offer, i’m really not sure where it might be in the book. Since it’s in pdf format you might do a word searh for aquin or aquino, and then go from there. Again thanks

Bryan, i see the italian text is online on google books, here is a link to the page that i think might contain Anonmino’s explanation, let me know if perhaps this is it:
