Magione conspiracy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magione conspiracy was a 1502 plot on behalf of several Italian lords to kill or overthrow Cesare Borgia and to split up his dominions, as they believed he was becoming too powerful.[1][2]
The conspirators were Oliverotto Euffreducci, Vitellozzo Vitelli, Gian Paolo Baglioni, Pandolfo Petrucci (through his minister, Antonio da Venafro), Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Giovanni Bentivoglio (through his son Ermes) and Paolo and Francesco Orsini, who were the leading members of Orsini family.[3][4][5][6]
