'''Carnevale''' (Carnival in English) is a Christian festive season that occurs before the liturgical season of Lent. The main events typically occur during February or early March, during the period historically known as Shrovetide (or Pre-Lent).

The term ''Carnival ''(Carnevale in Italian) is traditionally used in areas with a large Catholic presence. In historically Lutheran countries, the celebration is known as Fastelavn, and in areas with a high concentration of Anglicans and Methodists, pre-Lenten celebrations, along with penitential observances, occur on Shrove Tuesday. In Slavic Eastern Orthodox nations, the celebration is known as Maslenitsa and is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent. Carnival celebrations, are usually referred to as Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday" in French) in the United States of America.

'''Carnevale of Venice''' is an annual event held in [[Venice]] that was known for its extravagant costumes and decorated {{Wiki|Venetian masks|masks}}. Believed to have started in 1162, it became an official tradition during the [[Renaissance]].

In the Italian Reinascence, [[Civilians]] and noblemen celebrated the festival by playing games and competitions, dancing, and watching performers in the streets or city squares. The environment was vibrant and people were garbed in colorful clothing and masks. The streets were filled with banners and processions of people and fireworks decorated the sky.

It was during the Carnevale of 1486 that the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was able to infiltrate the party held by his target, Venetian Doge [[Marco Barbarigo]], and kill the man with his [[Hidden Gun]].

==Trivia==
*Even after the events of Carnevale, the citizens would continue to celebrate it in the [[Dorsoduro]] district for the remainder of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', albeit without fireworks.
*Ezio could not change outfits or capes during Carnevale.
*Carnevale was featured as a background to the events depicted in the theatrical trailer for ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', although the events never happened in the game.
*During the E3 demo of ''Assassin's Creed II'', bonfires were held in Carnevale, which allowed Ezio to use [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s [[Flying Machine]].
*Carnevale was also depicted in the fourth [[Cristina Vespucci|Cristina]] memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.
*In the 21st century, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil have the biggest Carnival celebration in the world, followed jointly by Barranquilla, Colombia and the Notting Hill Carnival in London (this later, despite its name, it is not part of the global Carnival season preceding Lent).

{{WP-REAL}}
'''George II '''(9 November 1683 – 25 October 1760), sometimes referred to as '''George Augustus of Hanover''', was King of [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]], and Duke of {{Wiki|Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg|Brunswick-Lüneburg}} from his ascendancy on 22 June 1727 until his death.

In 1748, King George aided {{Wiki|King Frederick I of Sweden|Frederick I of Sweden}} financing his fleet. The [[Swedish Assassins|Swedish Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]], who operated under the ''[[Swedish Levant Company]]'', started speculating some [[Templars|Templar]] influences in King George's court.

He was succeeded by his grandson, [[George III of the United Kingdom|George William Frederick]].

George I of Great Britain

{{WP-REAL}}
'''George I''' (28 May 1660 – 11 June 1727), sometimes referred to as '''George Ludwig von Hanover''', was King of [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]] from his ascendancy on 1 August 1714 until his death on 11 June 1727. He was also the ruler of the state of Hanover, in modern-day [[Germany]], from 1698 until his death.

During his reign, the [[British Empire]] achieved rapid expansion throughout the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], but encountered resistance from both the [[Spanish Empire]] and the region's [[Piracy|pirates]]. In 1715, under the King's direction, England and [[Spain]] declared a truce with the {{Wiki|Treaty of Utrecht}}, ending the hostilities between the empires; however, this also created more pirates, as the King's privateers became obsolete.

In response, George personally made the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Woodes Rogers]] the governor of [[the Bahamas]] in 1718, sending the governor back to [[Nassau]] to offer a royal pardon to the pirates there, giving them clemency and freedom as an alternative to execution. After Rogers' failed attempts to eliminate the pirates, the King recalled him back to England in 1721.

In the last years of his reign, most of his real power was in the hands of his adviser [[Robert Walpole]], the first recognized ''de facto'' {{Wiki|Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister of Great Britain}}. George died on a trip to Hanover at the age of 67, with his son [[George II of Great Britain|George II]] succeeding him.

'''George III''' (4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820), sometimes known by his birth name of '''George William Frederick of Hanover''', was King of {{Wiki|Great Britain}} and {{Wiki|Ireland}} from 25 October 1760, until the unification of those two states on 1 January 1801. Following this, he became King of the [[United Kingdom]], which he remained as until his death.

King George led Great Britain during numerous conflicts, including the [[French and Indian War]], where Britain stood victorious over [[France]], and the later [[American Revolutionary War]]. It was in the latter that the [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]] of America which Great Britain had accumulated were lost to George and subsequently achieved their own independence, becoming the [[United States]].
