The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Written in 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death, The Prince is possibly Machiavelli's best-known work and is responsible for bringing the term 'Machiavellian' into widespread usage. Initially, it was dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici in the hope of regaining his favor after a period of exile. The book explores the acquisition, maintenance, and use of political power in monarchies and principalities.

He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
