History

The Vicarial Guards were the armed wing of the Pinzon's Feud, and their existence is proved by documents since 1200. Probably, were dismantled after the fall of Pinzon's Lordship. The ancient writer Degani, described them:

Et le guardie delli nobilissimi ac altissimi De Pinzon eran le guardie dalla croce rossa sullo campo blu. Et erano grandissima forza, di molti uomini forti et reverendi alli loro padroni.

— E. Degani, 1445

English: And the guards of the most noble and supreme De Pinzon were the guards of the red cross on blue background. They were a big force, of many strong and loyal mans.

— E. Degani, 1445
