Cesare Borgia


"However much Rome may be in the habit of speaking and writing, for my own part, I shall give these libellers a lesson in good manners."

- Cesare Borgia

Cesare Borgia was the son of Pope Alexander I and a general of the Papal armies. Cesare was a nobleman and condiettro from Rome who is renowned for his fearful brutality and tactics. He established essential political relationships with the kingdom of France via his marriage to Charlotte d'Albrett. When the Pope gave Cesare his own state in the north of Italy, the citizens saw Cesare as a great improvement compared to their former rulers. In command of around 4,500 troops sent by the French and his own Italian mercenaries, Cesare was sent to capture the cities of Forli and Imola. Despite the loss of his French troops after these two sieges, Cesare returned to Rome with victory. During his campaigns in Romagna, Cesare added many more lands to his property and several more condiettro mercenaries under his employ. Cesare was later killed in an ambush in the year 1507 in Spain.
