His famous treatise The Prince (1513, published 1532) is a handbook for rulers; though dedicated to lorenzo-de-medici, ruler of Florence from 1513, it failed to win Machiavelli his favour. Machiavelli viewed The Prince as an objective description of political reality.

he was hated by the medicis probably beacuse they were offended by the book he wrote for them....
