Lodovico Ariosto
Lodovico Ariosto (8 September 1474 – 6 July 1533) was an Italian poet and Assassin who was chosen by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, as his successor.
He served as a Ferraran ambassador to the Vatican on two occasions; Pope Julius II called for his death over a conflict with the Duke of Ferrara, Alfonso I d'Este, but Ariosto avoided it.
Lodovico's appointment as Ezio's successor angered Claudia Auditore da Firenze, who felt him unsuitable due to his close relationship with Alfonso I d'Este, husband of Lucrezia Borgia.
