The first documented lord of the town is Leo da Fumone of 1111. There is also another document found in the Liber Censuum undersigned in 1125 during the papacy of Onorio; it shows that the Castrum of Fumone was entrusted to Gregorio and Bertraimo and their families, just as it had been entrusted to their forefathers.

Ciriaco e Nicola (Via Lata in Rome).One records the death of Bertraimus of Fumone and the castle and its feudal master and the fact that the family remained in possession for nearly all the XIII C. In 1116 during the controversies that troubled Rome between Henry VIII and the Pope, Peter Prefect of Rome died so Pope Pasquale II revenged by naming his son his successor, Pierleone, a powerful ‘nobile’ on the opposite side The people and the Imperial party rebelled against this stripping him of his title. The newly elected Prefect, elected by the people was ordered by the pontiff to be imprisoned in Fumone.. These facts can only demonstrate how important Fumone was considered by the church to be thought a good prison for such important prisoners. We could say that Fumone was the most important prison after Rome.
