Assassins Creed 2
He is first seen discussing with Rodrigo Borgia (the leader of the Templars),along with his son and his Uncle Jacopo de' Pazzi, in San Gimignano about the death of the Medici brothers. He is later seen in a chamber underneath the Santa Maria Novella church in Florence, discussing with his uncle and the Pazzi Conspirators about the assassination of Lorenzo de' Medici and Giuliano. He is seen as being very confident that their mission will be a success, but Jacopo warns him that confidence led to the death of his son (killed by Ezio). During a High Mass at the Duomo, he violently stabs Lorenzo's brother, Giuliano, 19 times in the chest, leading to his death. He then tries to kill Lorenzo, but Ezio fights him off (forcing him to flee). He and Jacopo's soldiers attack Florence. He is later seen trying to invade the Palazzo della Signoria when Ezio turns up again. Ezio manages to fight off Francesco's guards, forcing Francesco to flee. Ezio kills him, however, and his naked body is hung over the Palazzo della Signoria by angry Florentines while Jacopo agitates the citizens, causing Jacopo to flee.
Trivia
- It might be that Francesco de' Pazzi had a daughter as well. Hinted in the games start, "Boys will be boys" Ezio comments "Your sister seemed quite satisfied with the handling I gave her earlier" to Vieri de' Pazzi just before their fight.
- In real life, Francesco de Pazzi was dragged from the Palazzo Pazzi and then hanged from the tower of the Palazzo della Signoria on April 26, 1478. His body was then cut down and desecrated.
- Francesco de Pazzi's bodies was hung naked from the Palazzo della Signoria. His stomach was cut open and his intestines fell out. This was replicated by Hannibal Lector in the movie "Hannibal", when he killed a Florentine police detective, who was a direct descendant of the Pazzi family, in the same way his ancestor died.
- Francesco de Pazzi's facial features resemble Zak Dingle of Emmerdale.
