Cesare Borgia

Cesare Borgia (1475–1507) was the son of Pope Alexander VI. He benefited from Pope Alexander VI's nepotism (placing family in important roles) and became ruler of Romagna, a historical region of Italy, by murdering those who opposed him. He was banished by Pope Julius II and died during the invasion of Castile.^[1] His policies were famously described by Niccolò Machiavelli in The Prince.^[2]
