hey there Boanerges... I really can't say having not read the book myself... I do know that at the very center of hell... those that receive the most severe torment, according to Dante, are Judas, which I suppose is understandable... but oddly... it seems to me anyway... is that the other 2 are Brutus and Cassius who both betrayed Julius Caesar.....anyway there is a short excerpt on the "Inferno" at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Divine_Comedy#Inferno that may be of more help if you are interested in a quick summary...
blessings,
