“And just as the artists expressed the ideas and ideals of the time, so did the princes. Since they were men of power, absolute lords in their petty domains, they enjoyed complete liberty to play their parts on the Renaissance stage as they saw fit.”
Prescott presents the extraordinary ruling families of Italy during the fifteenth century.
