Soon after that, Elector [[Friedrich der Weise]] decided to found a school that would question the practices of the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], though the Borgia prepared a bribe to prevent him from doing so.<ref name="PL Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy]]</ref>

The Assassins intercepted the carriage that was to deliver the bribe and made the Borgia believe the money was stolen by bandits. They then used the money to make an anonymous donation to the school.<ref name="PL Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy]]</ref>
