The '''Siege of Monteriggioni''' was an engagement between the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], under the command of [[Cesare Borgia]], and the [[House of Auditore|Auditore]] which took place in 1499. Determined to rid themselves of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the [[Templars]] attacked the city of [[Monteriggioni]] with an overwhelming force, whilst the city's defenders, led by both Ezio and his uncle – [[Mario Auditore]] – held them off.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo" />

The Auditore were caught by surprise. Ezio himself was unaware of what was happening, sleeping together with [[Caterina Sforza]]. Though when a cannonball hit the room, shattering the wall and central pillar, Ezio jumped out of bed, dressed and armed himself with one [[Hidden Blade]], however his armor was scattered by the attack. He climbed out the window onto the rooftop to observe exactly what was happening. It was then that Ezio realized that Monteriggioni was under attack. Another bomb struck the villa roof and Ezio fell down to the ground. There, his uncle Mario helped him up and told him the attack was led by the Borgia. Mario instructed his nephew to hold off the army until the townspeople could flee. Ezio jumped on a horse to get as fast as possible to the walls of defense. Upon the fortress walls, he used the cannons to destroy as many siege towers as he could.

Despite the destruction of many of the Templars' siege machines, the Templars managed to overwhelm the city's defenders and breach the main gates. A mortally wounded Mario Auditore was forced inside the city by Cesare Borgia who, revealing the Apple to be in his possession, proceeded to "invite" Ezio to come to Rome with a shot of his firearm; the shot killed Mario Auditore, whilst Ezio was also shot by a detachment of Templar arquebusiers upon the city walls.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo" /> When Ezio eventually regained consciousness, he made his way to [[Rome]], in pursuit of Cesare Borgia.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

It would be another four years before he could finally confront Cesare and [[Rodrigo Borgia]] in Rome itself.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />
