History

Siege of Viana

King John III of Navarre ordered his brother-in-law Cesare Borgia, who had just escaped from prison, to lead his 10,000 men to Viana, in order to retake the Viana Castle from the Count of Lerin.

Ezio Auditore, now Grand Master of the Assassin Order, traveled to Viana to assassinate Cesare Borgia. In 1507, Ezio and Cesare finally confronted each other for their last battle.

Castel Viana

Viana was also home to Castel Viana, a large fortified palace held by Louis de Beaumont. The castle was an extremely strong natural fortification. Due to the castle being almost impenetrable, Cesare had to rely on wearing his opponent out to win the battle.

Trivia

  • Like Arsuf in Assassin's Creed, and Rome in Assassin's Creed II, Ezio cannot return to Viana through methods of travel after the completion of its memory. However, he is able to return to the location during a memory replay.
