[[File:Cesareborgia.jpg|thumb|314px]] '''Cesare Borgia''' (September 13<sup>th</sup>, 1475 β March 12<sup>th</sup>, 1507) was an Italian condottiero, nobleman, politician, and cardinal, whose fight for power was a major inspiration for The Prince by Machiavelli. He was the son of Pope Alexander VI (r. 1492β1503, born Rodrigo Borgia) and his long-term mistress Vannozza dei Cattanei. He was the brother of Lucrezia Borgia; Giovanni Borgia (Juan), Duke of Gandia; and Gioffre Borgia (JofrΓ© in Valencian), Prince of Squillace. He was half-brother to Don Pedro Luis de Borja (1460β88) and Girolama de Borja, children of unknown mothers. After initially entering the church and becoming a cardinal on his father's election to the Papacy, he became the first person to resign a cardinalcy after the death of his brother in 1498. His father set him up as a prince with territory carved from the Papal States, but after his father's death he was unable to retain power for long. According to Machiavelli this was not due to his lack of planning for all possibilities, but his own illness. Also Cesare Borgia used as a model for the painting of any false images of Jesus Christ which can be seen in every Catholic Church. ==Gallery== <gallery> CesareBorgiaandFake Jesus.jpeg|Comparison between Cesare Borgia (Left) and the False Image of Jesus Christ (Right) Cesare Borgia infobox 250px.png|Cesare Borgia depicting in the 2011 TV Series, The Borgias.
