The following questions crave answer: If it was Troche's design to betray such a treachery of the Borgias against France, what was he doing on board a vessel bound for Corsica a fortnight after his flight from Rome?
That he has never been so much as alleged to have murdered anyone does not signify. He was a servant a trusted servant of the Borgias; therefore the title of "assassin" is, ipso facto, to be bestowed upon him. The flight of a man holding such an intimate position as Troche's was naturally a subject of much speculation and gossip, but a matter upon which there was no knowledge.
A motive was certainly required to account for Troche's action; but the invention of motives does not appear ever to have troubled the Cinquecentist. It was now said that Troche was enraged at having been omitted from the list of cardinals to be created at the forthcoming Consistory.
