borgia

But who could be more venomous than Cesare Borgia and the Borgia family whom reportedly had rings for poisoning (and assassinating) their enemies?

As an assassin you befriend Leonardo and must destroy his blueprints as well as any prototypes the Borgia created.

It seems they were first hired by Julius II, who was successor to Alexander VI aka the Borgia Pope.

Machiavelli ensured Cesar Borgia will live forever by his writing and both of them lost.

Or could I have borgia.sucks and have it listing my accomplishments and how great a person I am?

I think borgia is referring to our coal exports to China being lucrative, and their removal would hurt.

Thiel and his ilk are eager to shove the US back into feudalism, with themselves at the top like some kind of warmed-over Borgia family.

Despite the church's portrayal of sexuality as sinful and degrading, many nobles maintained mistresses, and even certain popes (Alexander Borgia comes to mind) fathered children out of wedlock.

Yep, I guess I've overreacted about borgia.

Equivalence may be a strong word, but pardoning your kids is classical Borgia shit straight out of the worst times of Italian Renaissance, and most people would condemn it if it was done by leader of some Central American Ruritania.

My understanding is they were commissioned by playboy Milanese nobleman intent on bringing down the Borgia crime family, whose parents had been knifed down in an alley in front of him when still a child after exiting a wonderful setting of the Magnificat composed by Gaffurius.

It reminds me more of Muddle [1] Ages' intrigue, scheming, and backstabbing, like the Medicis, Cesare Borgia and clan, Machiavelli (and his book The Prince, see Cesare again), etc., to take just one example.

Indeed, one example is the Borgia family's "recent" and controversial attempts to use church power in secular politics, often brutally executed.

Of course, the real answer, “ask your boss Cesare Borgia and do whatever he says, or you will be fired for insubordination”, is conspicuously absent.

"...and now borgia is chipping in for Russian rocket engines." You personally linked the discussion of Russian rocket usage to Russian sock puppet accounts, instead of realizing that Americans have used russian rockets for a long time.

For example, on returning to the United States in the late 1860s from England, where he had been American Consul, George Makepeace Towle noted how “Lucretia Borgia and Faust,The Barber of Seville and Don Giovanni are everywhere popular; you may hear their airs in the drawing room and concert halls, as well as whistled by the street boys and ground out on the hand organs” (quoted in Levine, 1988: 99–100).

Peter would be held by a man who might be the scion of a powerful and ruthless family (Borgia, Medici, Barberini)that had much experience with assassins...

There were roads in Borgia, Spain my navigation system sent me down in a rented passenger car where I literally want able to turn because it was too narrow.

They fund series outright like House of Cards and Arrested Development (but to be clear, 20th Century Fox still produced and owns the video and syndication rights to AD) or they acquire the first-run rights (Lillyhammer, Tom Fontana's Borgia).
