"Are you letting me go? Thank you, Cesare. You will not regret-"

―Francesco's last words before being strangled by Micheletto

Francesco Troche (1459 – 1503) was the Pope's chamberlain and a personal friend of Cesare Borgia.

In 1503, Francesco told his older brother, Egidio Troche, about Cesare's intentions for Romagna. Subsequently, Egidio then sent a letter to warn the Venetian ambassador, warning him and hoping to prevent Cesare from conquering Romagna. However, one of his letters was intercepted by Cesare's men.

When Cesare discovered this, he believed Francesco to be a traitor and had Micheletto Corella strangle him to death. His body was later dumped into the Tiber River.

Trivia

• Historically, there are disputes over whether Francesco Troche threw himself overboard a boat to drown in an act of suicide, or if he was strangled in a prison when the boat arrived in Rome.
• After Micheletto killed Francesco, Cesare killed a man named Jacopo di Santa Groce. The names and the order of deaths are similiar to the deaths of the members of the Pazzi family. In 1478, Ezio killed Francesco De Pazzi. 2 years later, Ezio killed Jacopo De Pazzi.
