=============================
Cesare Borgia (1475 – 1507) was an Italian cardinal deacon and later a condottiero, as well as a member of the Spanish House of Borgia.
He was the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI and 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.
