Cesare Borgia
Cesare Borgia, the living image of the Renaissance prince, praised by Machiavelli and reviled by history, was the example of the intelligent politician, loved by his people and feared by his enemies, with whom he was implacable.
He was the first of the children that Cardinal Rodrigo de Borja had with Vannozza Cattanei, born in Rome in September 1475, who would be followed by Giovanni, Lucrezia and Goffredo.
When he was only six years old, he already began to receive ecclesiastical positions, a social sphere to which he had been assigned by his father. In 1491, at the age of 16, he was appointed bishop of Pamplona.
The pontifical election of his father, in August 1492, boosted his ecclesiastical career and he received the archbishopric of Valencia and the Cistercian abbey of Valldigna. In 1493 he settles in Rome and begins to show some of the skills that will make him famous: his bearing and his wit.
Charles VIII of France, on his way through Rome in 1493, on his way to Naples, took him with him as papal legate and hostage. Cesare stars in a resoun

Cesare Borgia
Late 15th-century Italian nobleman and Catholic cardinal
Cesare Borgia[b] (13 September 1475 – 12 March 1507) was a Roman Catholicdeacon—cardinal and later an Italiancondottiero (mercenary). He was the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI of the AragoneseHouse of Borgia and was a sibling to Lucrezia Borgia.
After initially entering the Church and becoming a cardinal on his father's election to the papacy, he resigned his diaconal profession after the death of his brother in 1498. He was employed as a condottiero for King Louis XII of France around 1500, and occupied both Milan and Naples during the Italian Wars. At the same time, he carved out a state for himself in Central Italy, but he was unable to retain power for long after his father's death. His quest for political power was a major inspiration for The Prince by the renowned Florentine historian, Niccolò Machiavelli.[3]
