I edited your question since you can only ask one question
at a time.
Cesare Borgia was a member of a notorious
Renaissance family led by Alexandre Borgia, who was a Pope. He was not your average
Pope: All Borgias were the medieval "Sopranos", always bribing, committing some form of
crime, and obtaining riches, goods and loads of power in the darkest
places.
Cesar was the eldest of the Borgia son, and brother
to another notorious lady of history: Lucrezia
Borgia.
Cesar was a young, horrid and ambitious warrior
that stopped at nothing to become the celebrated "Prince" of which Niccolo Machiavelli
speaks of: One who does not need divine kingship to be elected, and one who does not
need to be fair and just: Just bad and wild and strong enough to grab a throne away from
anybody.
He was conqueror of many places of which he became
Duke, and with the godfather-hood of the Pope he was elevated to many positions of power
whenever the Borgias wanted more.
He was Dule of Romagna
and Valentinios, and Prince of Andria and Venatro, among many other titles acquired
either by force, by his father's influence, or by marriage. He was only 31 when he
died.
