Remove ads
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, Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Giovanni Bentivoglio (through his son Ermes) and the leading members of Orsini family.[3][4][5][6] After the failure of the conspiracy, Borgia was able to rearm himself with troops and thus break up the conspiracy by having many of the conspirators – Vitelli, Euffreducci and two of the Orsini brothers – killed.[7]
