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....

Machiavelli was demonized because his political ideas, as outlined in "The Prince," were seen as ruthless and unethical. Many viewed his advocacy for using any means necessary to maintain power as amoral and dangerous. Additionally, his works were considered subversive to established political and religious authorities of his time.
