Machiavellianism came
before Machiavelli.
Moses, Sesostris, Solomon, Lysander, Philippe and Alexander of Macedonia,
Agathocles, Romulus, Tarquin, Julius Cesar, Augustus and even Nero, Charlemagne,
Theodoric, Clovis, Hugues Capet, Louis XI, Gonzalves of Cordova, Cesar Borgia –
these are my doctrine's ancestors. I move on1 without, of course, speaking of those
who came after me, the list of which would be long, and who learned nothing from
The Prince that they didn't already know from the practice of power. Who in your time
rendered me more brilliant homage than Frederic II? Pen in hand, he denied me in the
interest of his own popularity and, in politics, he rigorously applied my doctrines.
