@@HistoryfortheAges It would be if it was greek , greek had smar a55 comedy like that. But with Italians and at that time, i'm going to say no. I've read Machs other works and tho they are different from this one , the prince is def not a satire. It's more of a short for fun book, don't think Machievelli took it that seriously but its def not a satire. I would imagine that Cesare was like LUCA MARINELLI in the My Name is Jeeg movie... Lucas character is well respected, charasmatic but dangerous dude but he was also a funny character , almost like a joker character. IN other words Cesar Borgia was like a mix of Jack Nicholsons joker and Heath Ledgers , both deep but also amazingly charasmatic and likeable. But Cesare wasn't much of a bad guy, Mach also calls him a workaholic. In one section he says that Machievelli would spend hours and days doing his homework on statecraft and getting hands on work of adminstering his domain and would be up until the wee hours perfecting his craft and getting last minute touches... then he would lose energy and just turn into an ubber sloth sleeping and doing nothing for 2 days straight exahusted from his all nighters. ..But one thig was certain on the weekends(non workdays) you would see him hanging out with his peons and he would be partying with them and playing soccer with kids and his people love him. Could you imagine if your Boss was the guy spending hours trying to make the company hit $5 billion in sales trying to make sure everything was okay for everybody and then on the weekends hanging out with his employees and shooting a few beers. Also , in the Prince Machievelli says that Cesare was one of the most well studied guys, he went to the best univerisities and was sort of a nerd for history, economics, math and politics and Theology ( philosophy/sociology of its day).. The only satire part is that .. as much as Cesare was this prodigy that perfected his craft, it did not matter because at the end of the day he attained his power through his father , and once his father died , all of his enemies would dispose of him like nothing.. Theres the only satire to it.

The supposed admiration of Borgia from Machiavelli is widely disputed due to only The Prince speaking favorable of such means while most of his work actually shows a great admiration for The Roman Republic. A lot of historians and philosophical thinkers through the years have called The Prince satire or a way to lull the Medici who were in power at the time to a false sense of security. Examples of books that supposedly reflects more of Machiavellis true thoughts: Discourse on Livy (3 books) and Florentine Histories (A love letter to the republic of Florence).

Nicely explained.

Rodrigo didn't favor Giovanni. It was common practice for those families which derived their power from The Church, to destine their first born to the ecclesiatical career, instead of a military one. Also, Giovanni did went missing after a dinner, but with friends, not his brother and he was most likely killed by the Orsini family for being an arrogant prick who acted like a bully towards his peers Roman aristocrats and for being a profoundly incompetent commander, who was responsible for a military blunder while leading the Papal army. And again: "The local population of Romagna was not fond of their rulers and in fact welcomed Cesare as their new leader" Just stop....That is simply false...and i'm not even bothering to correct you anymore. I'm sure there are even more inaccuracies, but i stop watching here.

Giovanni, or rather Juan, was a known prick with many enemies. I agree. It was probably the Orsini as any foul deed orchestrated by Cesare would have been done better. The Juan Borgia Murder case painted too big a target on him. Had Cesare been believed to be guilty, I believe not even his father would have forgiven him and elevated him to the status he did if he was even remotely suspected. What makes the case suspicious is that Pope Alexander VI, distraught, wasted no time and spared no costs in launching the investigation in Juan's death. The investigatiob went on for a while, but then, suddenly Alexander closed the book on it and never spoke of it again. Now this is just me speculating, but I believe the reason for that is that he did actually find who was responsible--and the person responsible wasn't someone he could afford to oppose at the time. Rodrigo Borgia had always been a master politician and administrator before anything else. It's not unreasonable to think he'd deny himself parental justice to serve some strategic power goal. He couldn't afford to lose his head. So he denied himself and his son justice.

His reign must be obliterated." Sorry della Rovere, the Borgias are still relevant, interesting and moderately well known historical figures.

The historically feared Paypal armies.

You could’ve worked more on pronunciation, not just PayPal/Papal, but you kept pronouncing all Italian names wrong, even Cesare pronunciation is wrong

Cesare Borgia is said to be the man who inspired the modern Jesus’s appearance in art.

It would fit so well with the utter corruption of the papacy at the time. Cesare was handsome(until syphilis made him wear a mask). So keep the good looks, give him Michael Corleone's expression and you have Cesare Borgia as Jesus.

I didn't know PayPal had armies... Weird. Are they better or worse than the City Bank and Wells Fargo armies?

I remember when I first played AC 2 and Brotherhood, I read Cesare as Caesar

The great "Mastermind and high Intelligence" of Cesare Borgia.

Fixed the title . "Why was Cesare Borgia feared by everyone but Ezio Alditore?"

Brotherhood, such a good game.

Your San Marino pronunciation is gold.

I had no idea paypal had so many armies

"Diet of bankrupts... To-day, Messer Paolo is to visit me, and to-morrow there will be the cardinal; and thus they think to befool me, at their pleasure. But I, on my side, am only dallying with them. I listen to all they have to say and bide my own time" -Cesare Borgia

You left out the part where it was Isabel of Castile who persuaded her husband Ferdinand to give the order for his arrest in Naples because she hated the chaos he caused. He was only able to "somehow" escape after her death since the strict prison guard she had for him was relaxed. Also ironic that Machiavelli's big hero was brought down by a woman even after Machiavelli had been very anti-women in positions of power.

always hated when AC brotherhood storyline is really short. this man was a menace in my childhood, depicting a truly bad guy

Insane how much history I've learned through assassins creed. I wish Ubisoft would stick to the old way of ac

Target comes out of his shelter, he's distracted by a feather.

Cesare Borgia was the inspiration behind "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli....

He was a Templar

Ah, the *PayPal Armies* Elon Musk had been busy.

I'm not convinced. In spite of what little accurate depictions the show The Borgias portrayed, I just got the impression that he was some murderous thug with a sister complex.

Cesar de Borja one of the most ruthless persons

Was pronouncing papal as "PayPal" intentional?

I remember being so disgusted of this man while playing AC brotherhood.

It was bootlicking for sure. A Medici pope's boots. Machiavelli was more or less under house arrest in his villa. After a busy political life. He was desperate.
