In 1499, armored arquebusiers under the command of Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI, participated in the assault on Monteriggioni; one arquebusier managed to wound Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the shoulder during the latter stages of the assault.[1] In 1503, the arquebusier continued to serve under Cesare, keeping watch over a Papal parade in Rome.
