The art of dying.
Dante and Virgil arrive at the next circle of Hell and look down into the valley at a site of carnage. These sinners include those who sewed schism in religion, and political figures who sewed discord in Italian politics. One of the most incredible characters is Bertrand De Born, who sewed discord between family members, separating father from son (causing a quarrel between King Henry II and his son Prince Henry). Bertrand is decapitated by a devil and must travel carrying his head in his upraised hand like a lantern.
