 It says that when the Sicilians complained to Charles of Anjou about their high taxes, he responded, ""Vi farro spendiri munita di soli, como altra volta havitu spisu"," threatening that he would re-issue leather money as had been done in the past.This probably indicates that the legend that William I issued leather money, otherwise first recorded by Tommaso Fazello in his "De Rebus Siculis" (1558), was current in the late thirteenth century.The "Rebellamentu" also makes the Orsini Pope Nicholas III party to a conspiracy to dethrone Charles of Anjou.
