- For the twelfth episode of “Assassin’s Creed: Real History” we continue to explore the franchise's historical time periods by discussing the Italian Renaissance, a cycle of cultural transformation which acted as the set-piece for Assassin's Creed 2 & Brotherhood.
If you have any topic requests for a future video, in which you would like me to research the real history and compare it to the game’s representation, please leave me a comment!

Topic Choice
I decided to make this a joint-video, covering both Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, while centering my research on the Italian Renaissance as a whole. Although it makes for a longer final product, I preferred keeping the commentary as a single video instead of a two-part project.
Disclaimer
I am an amateur historian. History is not my official field of study, but rather a passion. This series acts as my hobby and as a way to share with you the real history behind characters, groups, events and locations that are depicted in the Assassin’s Creed video game series. Although I work hard to be as detail-oriented as possible, I am clearly not without fault and therefore welcome you to let me know whether you feel I have missed anything important or have misrepresented something in my video.

Art piture castele quart cama casal night. Good night 🌃🌉😍😛😝😜😄😘😀😊😃☺😇😷🌉🌃🙏🙏 🌙
You my friend, are an Assassin. Thanks for this video and all others in this series 🙏
My ancestors are the Savelli family
Your videos deserve way more views , I hope you can continue this historical series❤️
LOL. Everytime I hear you say the Italian names, I get a giggle because I remember CollegeHumor's "Overpronouncing Foreign Words" video. Don't get me wrong, this is a great video.
Props to the research. Glad to see it's not just Wiki research happening.
JR B He actually did a really good job (I'm italian)
+JakeTheDog I was not criticizing him, I just remember the Collegehumour video where an american man pronounces foreign words with very distinct accents for every country that word came from (to embrace other countries' culture but instead sounded racist) that it got annoying, lol.
Probably still my favorite video
Another great video! I think it would be cool to see the victorian London setting done in the future.
Absolutely something that you'll be able to see in the future. However, as I'm working my way through the time periods chronologically, it'll be a while before I reach that topic, since on average these take me 2 weeks to make.

Thank you, Brandon! I'll do my best!
Sorry, wrong addressee
At least, the fictitious deaths of Ezio's father and brothers mirrored what happened to those who took part in the murder of Galeazzo Sforza (5th Duke of Milan)!
He was a character in ac2 as well
Great video I love real history integrated with modern day games
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Evidently, I'm also a big fan of integrating history within video games. Although I don't believe they should always necessarily represent a stand-alone history lesson, it's great to use them as a starting point for launching a discussion on various historical topics. I hope you stick around for future videos!

I like this . keep it up
Thank you for the kind words. Will do!

Great video, da Vinci has always been one of my favourite people of all time. Could you do a video about the maroons from freedom cry?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Leonardo da Vinci is also one of my favourite historical figures. As for the Maroons, I'm currently trying to find a way to implement them as the centerpiece of a video when discussing the historical time period used for Freedom Cry. I'm not too certain just yet how I will be pulling that off, but it's still a few videos away.

I really want to learn about the painting of the papal burnings at the steak from the original movie it would be totally awsome if you could send me any links of that info on that painting id so appreciate it that i will send a donation to your fairly interesting channel. Thanks for the history, research, and hard work your doing putting these videos together good work. I am for some odd reason very interested in learning about constantinople too. Thanks, Phillip Brewster
Hey great video! I am Italian and I'm Looking To learn more about the Italian history. I have a question which I have had mixed answers but yet can't find much information.
Q: were Italians every enslaved? If so can you guide me to where I can find this information.
Thank you
Google mate
Hello Nicole. Thank you for your comment and your question. I'm not a History teacher, but I know we were not enslaved like some African people. Unfortunately, given to the strategic geographical position of Italy, we were invaded by other countries, which is why Italy still has linguistic minorities (French in the north-east and German in the north-west). Attempts were made by Muslim countries, too. I hope this might help you understand a bit more about italy. I will certainly share with any further useful information/link on this topic
30:17 *23 years.
hope you do the Templars or assassin's soon
Although I'm not fully decided on it just yet, those will likely be among the first videos I do once I've finished covering the time periods.

Even the 8th century Islamic renaissance happened in Europe Spain and not in Middle East. Lol
Europe really are the birthplace of knowledge and technology.
No letter the inquisition and mercynieries destord Italy please whrid Machiavelli the prince
I'm alive and I'm Ezio
Maroons please!
That's a topic I'm definitely looking into. I'm currently trying to find a way to properly cover them as part of a time period piece when discussing "Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry". I'll see what I can do!
