- Back to Medieval Source Book ANGELO CLARENO ON AN INQUISITORIAL TORTURE SESSION Angelo Clareno joined the Franciscan order around 1274, just in time to become involved in the first serious confrontation between spiritual Franciscans and their leaders. It was in the province of Ancona, and by the 1280s things were bad enough there so that Angelo and others were thrown in prison for several years.www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/clareno-inq.html
