Livia

Livia (died 1500) was an Italian woman who lived in Rome with her husband during the Renaissance.
In 1500, an executioner who served under Cesare Borgia known simply as Il Carnefice forced himself onto Livia and then had her hanged at the Piazza di Spagna on false charges. By her husband's account, there were those in the audience who jeered at her and revelled at her death even though they had known her since childhood. Her body was left hanging as a display while her husband was threatened by Il Carnefice to be hanged as well if he were to cut off the rope to her corpse.Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood – Well Executed
He was left grieving hopelessly at the gallows when the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze chanced across him. Ezio empathized with their tragedy, having experienced a similar case of injustice as a teenager, and reassured him that he was free to liberate Livia's body whenever he felt ready. In the meantime, the Assassin left to assassinate Il Carneficie, thereby avenging her death and ensuring that she would be given proper rites.
