Almost five centuries have passed since his death, yet his reputation still casts a sinister shadow. He stands accused of treachery, cruelty, rape, incest and, especially, murder - assassination by poison, the deadly white powder concealed in the jewelled ring, or by the midnight band of bravos lurking in the alleys of Renaissance Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic book by acclaimed historian and biographer Sarah Bradford (author of \u003ci\u003eLucrezia Borgia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDiana\u003c\/i\u003e), is the drama of a man of exceptional gifts and a driving lust for power.
