Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Influencing The Prince: The Borgia Family throughout Time. It needs to be at least 2250 words.

The Borgia family was supporters of the arts and they contributed greatly to the success of the Renaissance. The Borgias gained influence and power in Renaissance Italy through marriages, entrepreneurship, and charity to the arts. Their influence in Renaissance Italy emanated mostly from their positions in the Church and State. In 1492, Rodrigo Borgia became Pope Alexander VI. The primary aim of Rodrigo appears to have been to build the Papal States, lands in the center of Italy customarily ruled by the pope, a realm for Cesare, his son. Rodrigo had a number of mistresses whom he had several illegitimate children. However, he was particularly doting of his two most infamous offspring, Cesare and Lucrezia. In order to financially support his military missions and other projects he had embarked on, Rodrigo traded separations to the European princes and kings and forcibly took power over the lands of dead bishops. The schemes of Rodrigo almost made it. Cesare, in control of the papal soldiers of his father, became infamous for cruelty that gained him numerous adversaries, who feared and hated him at the same time. As expressed in the below passage, the Borgias were hated and feared:

I met Cesare yesterday in the house in Trastevere: He was just on his way to the chase dressed in a costume altogether worldly: that is, in silk—and armed. He had only a little tonsure like a simple priest. I conversed with him for a while as we rode along—I am on intimate terms with him. He possesses marked genius and a charming personality, bearing himself like a great prince. He is especially lively and merry and fond of society. [This] archbishop never had any inclination for the priesthood but his benefices bring him in more than 16,000 ducats annually.6 (Chamberlin 97) Rodrigo and Cesare employed every tactic to attain success and conquest, comprising not just bloodshed but assassination, most usually through poisoning. Even the other Borgias were threatened. Cesare arranged the assassination of the Duke of Biscegile, the second husband of his sister Lucrezia. At the peak of their control and influence the Borgia family was extremely feared that people asked to feast with them frequently took the vigilance of appeasing their resolves before going.7 Even though Rodrigo allegedly died in 1503 from malaria, hearsays linger until now that he died after devouring by mistake a poisoned food intended for someone else. By the advent of the 16th century the Borgias were doomed. Cesare Borgia lived longer than his father, but his power gradually weakened.8 Overwhelmed by his enemies, Cesare run away from Rome just to be arrested in Naples and incarcerated in Spain.
