Dieci di balìa o della guerra (Ten of mercy or war)
The Dieci di Balìa was created with a provision of 3 October 1383 as a group of Executive Commissioners to be in charge of military affairs and the conduct of war; the word balìa refers to the act of granting extraordinary powers as they were an extraordinary body of the city. The Ten were appointed by election for six months or a year and were entrusted with the care of foreign policy and, above all, the direction of the military operations of the republic.

Citizens of Florence could claim membership in a gonfalone other than where they lived for purposes of taxation and political sortition, usually that of their father or other ancestor and related to where the family traditionally held its highest-value properties. The 1427 catasto contains numerous examples of a declared residence (casa per abitazione) in a parish not physically located in the gonfalone from which the tax declaration was made. Residence is "surmised" when extrapolated from political service or tax records that do not indicate the parish of residence and "documented" when the physical location of a house is known.
