Machiavelli ?The Prince? Niccolo Machiavelli, a renaissance political philosopher from Italy,is known today as one of the most influential man in finding modern politics. He writes to politicians through his guide,"The Prince",which is made up of a series of advises on how to get and maintain rule and power. His book was followed by many leaders, but some of his suggestions were already followed previous to "The Prince". Two of these people were King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. This couple ruled Argon and Castile and Leon from 1469 to 1516. Their way of conquering and practicing power coincidentally matched up with the teachings of Machiavelli. The methods they have used and what they have achieve during their reign would leave a mark in history.
