Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crossroads of Destiny
IT was near the close of the fifteenth century, when Italy was divided into innumerable little principalities, and every walled town claimed independence as a state; a period of intrigue and constant warfare, waged by every petty prince and duke to perpetuate his right of sovereignty over his vassals, or to extend his empire by conquest.
