The Noveschi or the IX were a mercantile-banking oligarchy that ruled the Italian city-state of Siena from 1287 to 1355 A.D. They oversaw the period of Siena's greatest stability and prosperity in the Medieval era. A significant factor in contributing to the instability that felled their regime was the 1349 outbreak of the Black Death.1
