Biography
Early life and carreer
Fabio Orsini was born in 1476 or 1477, the son of Paolo Orsini. He was trained in the art of battle at an early age, already participating in a battle to help the Sienese at Montepulciano.[1]
Affiliations with the Borgia
Around three years after the battle at Montepulciano, he joined his cousin Bartolomeo d'Alviano in a battle against the Savelli family. Following the battle, he married Jeronima Borgia, who was the cousin of Papal Commander Cesare Borgia. He supported his in-law family for some time, until he freed an impisoned friend from the Tor di Nona. He had to continue serving the Borgia against his will, however, as Cesare managed to bring the Orsini family to their knees.[1]
Later life
In 1500, Fabio lended an old storehouse to the Assassin Order, hoping that they might be able to take down the Borgia. He was also aware of the fact that his cousin Bartolomeo was amongst their numbers, as he had heard many stories about Bartolomeo's fellow Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze.[1]
Later, Fabio attacked Micheletto Corella's army after Cesare had Fabio's father Paolo killed. He was unable to defeat Micheletto however and lost his status. He then became an outlaw, raiding the countryside, and a warrant for his arrest was placed on him by Pope Alexander VI.[1]
After the death of Pope Alexander VI and his son Cesare became disfavored, Fabio entered Pope Julius II's service. He led the Papal armies to arrest Cesare for murder, betrayal and incest.[1]
In late 1503, he participated in the battle of Garigliano alongside Bartolomeo. However, Fabio died in 1504 of a head wound he received during the battle.[1]
