The best way for Cola di Rienzo to remain a major player is to manage the aristocracy better, not slaughter the Colonnas but still limit their power, and to assume some sort of official role as "Papal Regent."
Yes, he just needs to secure and formalize his position.Wasn't he sort of an unofficial regent OTL? Before he decided to say that both emperor-claimants should allow him to decide who was rightful emperor (IMO both would've probably ended up deposed).
