Cesare Borgia citáty

Cesare Borgia byl šlechtic, vojevůdce, politik a kardinál. Pocházel z původně španělského rodu Borgia, jeho otec byl Rodrigo, pozdější papež Alexandr VI. a matka byla Vanozza de’ Catannei. Cesarova životní snaha směřovala k vytvoření silného státního celku, což se mu dočasně podařilo v téměř celé střední Itálii. K dosažení svých cílů se nebál využívat jak morálně pochybných aktivit a prostředků, tak moci svého otce, který ho dokonce vysvětil biskupem a jmenoval kardinálem. Po smrti otce byl poražen a vyhnán papežem Juliem II. a uchýlil se ke svému švagrovi, navarrskému králi Janovi III.

Cesare Borgia se stal prvním kardinálem, který na svůj úřad rezignoval . Wikipedia
