Of the many colorful mercenary captains, who is your favorite condottiere of the Italian wars? Malatesta da Verucchio? Cesare Borgia? Onorata Rodiani? Someone else? |

It has to be Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta although he wasn't actually around for the 16th Century Italian Wars. Federico da Montefeltro is a very a close second for the 15th Century. For the 16th century, and the "Great Italian Wars" I'm going with Prospero Colonna. |
