It is the winter of 1502 at the court of the notorious Cesare Borgia and while the snows fall outside, the great table is surrounded by some of the most brilliant and ruthless men of that age. Among them is Borgia himself, patron and wealth bringing to his table two men among the many who will live on in history. The first is Niccolo Machiavelli who will use Borgia as the basis for his text The Prince. The other is an aged Leonardo Da Vinci whose mind is a wonder filled with designs that will influence a world to come. Employed as a military architect Da Vinci has plans for weapons and machines of war that he has no desire to give to Cesare Borgia. While it is not known if Machiavelli whispered a warning in the old man's ear it is wonderful to dream of what might have been said on those dark winter nights. – Gavin Syme (GBS).
