For the next six years, the Rossi and Sanvitale families were dominant in Parma. In 1322, Rolando imprisoned Gianquirico, sent his allies into exile and made peace with the Da Correggio. He allied himself with the Guelphs, and progressively built up his power. In June 1325, the papal legate Cardinal Bertrand du Pouget appointed him capitaneus Ecclesiae, captain of the Church, with an income of 30 florins per diem. This allowed him to live, in the words of the Chronicon parmense, "very honorably" (multum honorifice). With a large army under his command, he won several victories in Italy for the absentee Papacy. By November 1325, he and his brother, Ugolino, who was the bishop, invited back all exiles who were willing to proclaim themselves allies.
