He has given one such example also IE, of France. He also writes that reforming an existing order is one of the most dangerous and difficult things for a prince, because in most of the cases the subjects are against or resistant to any such change or reform. Moreover, it is very difficult for the prince to satisfy or come out with everyone expectations. Other situations, when a prince comes to power due to his destiny then it will be very difficult to hold it for a long time. Some exceptions are always there. even if a prince is overly generous to his subjects, that situation will also not be appreciated and will cause greed for more. So, different sorts of kingdoms, princedoms need different styles of controlling any realm. The author has put his best efforts in narrating all such types of realms. The work is really commendable and very much beneficial to the rulers. a must read book for self development and how to be a good leader.

”Alle stater, alle herredømmer, hvorved menneskene hidtil er blevet styrede eller endnu styres, var eller er enten republikker eller fyrstendømmer. Fyrstendømmerne er enten arvelige, i hvilke herskerens slægt i lang tid har regeret, eller også nyskabte. De nyskabte er enten ganske nydannede, som f.eks. Mailand af Francesco Sforza, eller de er dele som fyrsten, der erhverver dem, føjer til den arvelige stat, som f.eks. kongen af Spanien med kongeriget Neapel.”Intet litterært værk har haft så stor betydning for udviklingen af europæisk politik fra renæssancen og op til vor tid som italienske Niccolò Machiavellis bog ”Fyrsten” fra 1513.
