Biography
Italian statesman, politician, philosopher and theorist who advocated in his book, "The Prince," that the end justifies the means. His life demonstrated intrigue in political conflicts with the infamous Borgias.
Born to a distinguished family, he worked in the chancellery of the Florentine republic from 1498-1512, then as secretary in charge of war and foreign affairs. Machiavelli introduced conscription in Florence in 1506, preferring to use the native people over the unreliable, expensive mercenary troops. He had administrative and diplomatic duties, traveling to France, Germany and Italy and knew political leaders throughout these countries, including Cesare Borgia. Machiavelli was accused of conspiracy in 1513, imprisoned and tortured, then banished from Florence. He retired to his farm in San Casciano where he wrote his major works. He returned to Florence in 1520 where he held minor posts under the Medici until his death.) Machiavelli's name is associated with treachery even today with his statement, "The end justifies the means."
Machiavelli married Marietta Corsini in 1501. He died on 6/22/1527, Florence, Italy
