The Papal Musketeers were firearm soldiers who served and protected the pontiff during their tenure.

In 1499, the musketeers were under the command of Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI, and participated in the assault on Monteriggioni; one musketeer managed to wound Ezio Auditore da Firenze during the latter stages of the assault.[1]. In 1503, the musketeers continued to serve under Cesare, keeping watch over a Papal parade in Rome. At least one musketeer spotted an approaching Ezio Auditore, but was killed by another assassin before firing his shot[2].
