Francesco Salviati Riario (1443 - 1479) was the Archbishop of Pisa at the time of his membership in the Templar Order, 1476. Francesco was also one of the Pazzi conspirators.
Biography
Francesco was convinced that he would be the next Archbishop of Florence, and was enraged when Lorenzo de' Medici stood in his way. However, the Templars rose to support his cause, viewing him as a useful ally.
Francesco marched his troops into the city in order to support the hostile take over, but after the failure of the conspiracy, he shed his fancy garments, and traded them for the simple clothes of a farmer. The farmer was hung, and Francesco fled to his villa in Tuscany.
Despite his numerous guards, the villa was breached by Ezio Auditore, and the mercenaries of Mario Auditore. Francesco was assassinated by Ezio soon afterwards.
Final words

Ezio: Where is Jacopo?
Francesco: He knows you come for him... emerging only in darkness to meet with the others...
Ezio: That answers when... Now tell me where? La fede dovrebbe dare conforto, non pena. (Faith should bring comfort, not pain.) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)
