Fabio Orsini (1476 - 29 December 1503) was an Italian condottiero and lord of Mentana.[1] He was son of Paolo Orsini,[2] who was murdered in 1503 by Cesare Borgia.[3]
Cesare Borgia apprehended Vitellozzo Vitelli and Paolo Orsini, so Fabio fled when he saw the arrest of them.[4] On 23 August Ludovico of Pitigliano and Fabio Orsini came with 400 horse and 500 foot soldiers.[5] The alliance between the Borgia and the Colonna saved Caesar from, and on 24 August Ludovico was yielded and Fabio dismayed.[6]
At nineteen, he became a mercenary and brave and ruthless warrior, fighting many battles and dying of a head wound on 29 December 1503 during the battle of Garigliano.[7]
