About This Episode:
This video introduces Cesare Borgia, a central figure of the “italian renaissance” whose audacious “power struggle” and “machiavellian tactics” are explored. We examine the “historical facts” behind his ascent, noting how his actions influenced “niccolo machiavelli” and shaped the era of “pope alexander vi.”
In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we follow the Borgia rise:
– How Rodrigo Borgia bought the papacy and became Pope Alexander VI
– The murder of Juan Borgia and why Rome blamed Cesare
– Cesare’s brutal conquest of the Romagna (and the Senigallia trap)
– The poison rumors, the fear weapon, and why their reputation “worked”
– How their corruption helped ignite the chain reaction leading to Reformation-era backlash
– The real pattern: institutions with moral authority becoming cover for private power
This isn’t Renaissance gossip. It’s a template—old, repeatable, and still visible today.
💬 Comment below: Were the Borgias truly worse than everyone else… or just too obvious?
