#quotes: borgia

[17isrighthere]

Every prince ought to desire to be considered kind and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this kindness. CESARE BORGIA was considered cruel, but notwithstanding, his cruelty calmed the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty — THE PRINCE (MACHIAVELLI, 1532) (belovéd, yves olade)

"when you marry off a son to the church, they're married to god's vicar on earth" lives rent free in my mind now, thank you very much! also, can't stop thinking of rodrigo borgia and giuliano della rovere as a bickering divorced couple, and it's too kinda your fault -_-

absolutely CACKLING at the idea of rodrigo and giuliano as a divorced couple because I've always envisioned them as two different types of monsters that despised each other and were intent on eating the other along with anyone else that got in their way, with giuliano coming out of that war winning. and it wasn't enough to get the throne (the papacy), he also kicked cesare to the curb after luring him back in. we love to see it! you can't buy that kind of hate off the shelves, you have to curate it and let it fester like an open wound! an absolute masterclass in driving in one final nail into the coffin of a family you despise. (there's a kind of dynastic rivalry subtext in regards to inheritance etc, between these two that makes them incompatible with the divorced framework to me. it's more of a eat or be eaten, destroy the pretender to the throne, etc etc in my mind)

ascanio sforza and giuliano della rovere on the other hand. they have an adjacent kind of divorced energy, to me. those two were rivals for so long (ascanio kneecapping della rovere by backing rodrigo in the papal elections, and it escalating from there), and only came together in the end (della rovere visiting ascanio every day on summer for conversation, hello??), and even then: that came with a hefty side of deeply unbalanced power dynamics of the julius caesar-clemency variety (fun fact! when giuliano della rovere became pope, he took on the name julius II in reference to julius caesar!)

wait--- you want to know who's literally divorced, though? ascanio and rodrigo. ascanio was one of the major players in setting up the lucrezia borgia-giovanni sforza marriage, and that annulment had implications, especially with how rodrigo kept trying to shut ascanio out of vatican politics. that didn't stop them from sharing the pastime of gambling together, though.

#actually i think i called della rovere ascanio's sugar daddy at one point. heugh. don't ever let me speak (continues to speak) #the funerary statue that giuliano had commissioned for ascanio lives in my head rent free tho. the eyelashes. wtf. #OBSESSED with how he's posed not in death but asleep instead. what's the point of being a pope if you can't commission #an artist to do a little life-death dialogue that challenges god. huh. after all you speak for god. #anyway i hate della rovere. also rodrigo. but that's to be expected. #ask tag #also re the borgia-della rovere monster conversation: what's most dangerous to a man who would be king? a conspirator #and to quote ilardi: ascanio did inherit his visconti ancestor's tendency to conspiracy #della rovere had a better handle on maneuvering that once he put on the papal hat tho #i guess the final FINAL nail in the coffin to the borgia memory might be della rovere winning over ascanio in the end #like. congrats on getting your rival-enemy's ex wife. #every day i look at myself in the mirror and go 'hey. say normal things' and then i describe catholic politics like this

In life [the body of Cesare Borgia] had worn the red hat of a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, made its home in the papal palace in Rome, ridden into proud cities as their conqueror, been joined in marriage to a princess, and had honours heaped upon it by kins of France and Spain. Not once but twice it had held in its hands the power to decide who would be elected pope. For thirty years it had been inhabited by a spirit of such force and originality as to inspire one of the immortal classics of world literature.

G.J. Meyer, from The Borgias (Bantam 2013)

''You can take my son, but do you see? Here! I have the means to produce ten more sons. And they will hunt you down and send you to your grave!''

Micheletto: You afraid, boy? Paolo: I was waiting. I had hoped for someone… Micheletto: One a lot prettier than I, perhaps yes? Paolo: Perhaps. Micheletto: Are you saying that I'm not pretty? I have killed for less. But not tonight. Come. You are looking for your love. Yes? Then come. What is your name, boy? Paolo: Paolo. Micheletto: Tell me about love, Paolo. I know nothing of love. ... Micheletto: Tell me. Love. What does it feel like? Paolo: It hurts. Micheletto: Ah, like life. Yes? Like Micheletto.

On one hand, it's almost hilarious, how Micheletto's job description was probably "bring Lucrezia's lover to the house", so he creeps him out first by being weird and murder-y.

On the other, don't think about how he claims he knows nothing of love, but wants to hear about it... only to metaphorically cut his own heart out next season.

Cesare: You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!

Ezio: Then I leave you in the hands of Fate! (holds Cesare tightly as he prepares to-)

Cesare: Oh! Harder, daddy!

Ezio: ... What?

Cesare: What?

Desmond: WHAT??????

The Codex Borgia (The Vatican, Bibl. Vat., Borg.mess.1), also known as Codex Borgianus, Manuscrit de Veletri and Codex Yohualli Ehecatl, is a pre-Columbian Middle American pictorial manuscript from Central Mexico featuring calendrical and ritual content, dating from the 16th century. It is named after the 18th century Italian Cardinal, Stefano Borgia, who owned it before it was acquired by the Vatican Library after the Cardinal's death in 1804. (Wikipedia)
