Niccolo Machiavelli, ( ) The Prince written in1513; published in 1532

The rise of towns and the new middle class of the 1100’s – the burghers- were crucial in setting in motion and preparing the foundations for the modern, political world.

Limitations on medieval kings: > Chosen by and answerable to landed nobles > The Oath of Fealty & Homage > Accountable to the Church > Limited by town charters

The most formative force in the development of early European states were Kings and their courts

The usual founder of a ruling dynasty was the most powerful noble who made his claim to the position of king stick.

The Founding of National Monarchies European elites - nobles, clerics and burghers... grudgingly gave allegiance to ambitious monarchs- - a single, strong ruler seemed the only alternative to the brutal pattern of war and civil strife so common during the era of feudalism

By the end of the 11 th century, and for the following 200 years, kings imposed greater order in their territories. Where these kings succeeded, strong dynastic states emerged. Where the monarchs failed, as they did in the Holy Roman Empire and Italy, no viable states evolved until the 1860’s.

Louis IX r aka: “Saint Louis” > king at 11 > dedicated to make France the most Christian of all nations > led 2 Crusades >attended 2 masses a day > prohibited cursing at his court > built churches and monasteries > prohibited usury; aided the poor, sick and the helpless >helped Robert de Sorbonne establish his school > Issued laws for his entire realm > Prohibited private warfare among his nobles

Nicollo Machiavelli, “The End Justifes the Means”

DEDICATION: To the Magnificent Lorenzo Di Piero De Medici: Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one often sees horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness. Desiring therefore to present myself to your Magnificence with some testimony of my devotion towards you, I have not found among my possessions anything which I hold more dear than, or value so much as, the knowledge of the actions of great men, acquired by my long experience in contemporary affairs, and a continual study of antiquity; which, having reflected upon it with great and prolonged diligence, I now send, digested into a little volume, to your Magnificence. What is Machiavelli offering?

“…It may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, voluble dissemblers, anxious to avoid danger…. As long as you benefit them, they are entirely yours; they offer you their blood, their goods, their life and their children. But a prince who relies solely on their word, without making other preparations, is ruined.”

“By no means can a prudent ruler keep his word….If all men were good it would be all right to keep promises, but because they are bad and do not keep promises to you, you likewise do not have to keep promises to them.” His view of human nature?

“It is better to be feared than loved…When it is impossible to be both feared and loved, choose to be feared. Men’s affections are very changeable, but fear and terror keeps people loyal and subservient.” What brings more loyalty – Love or Fear?

“A prince must take great care that nothing goes out of his mouth which does not seem to be merciful, faithfull, humane, sincere and religious….Everybody sees what you appear to be, few really know who you are...” How important is public image?

“…every prince must desire to be considered merciful and not cruel. He must however, take care not to misuse this mercifulness. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel, but his cruelty brought order to Romagna, united it and reduced it to peace.” What point is he making here?

“You must know then, that there are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force: The first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second.” How are the two methods of fighting different?

“ Let a prince therefore aim at conquering and maintaining the state, and the means will always be judged honorably and praised by everyone in so far as the end justifies the means.”
