The Banner of the Bull: Three Episodes in the Career of Cesare Borgia

"The Banner of the Bull" is an outstanding historical story, which includes many details from the life of Cesare Borgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI, and a member of the Spanish-Aragonese House of Borgia. As Sabatini notes in the title work, Borgia was the model for Machiavelli's The Prince who fought for power all his life.
