# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Caterina Sforza was born in 1463 into a dynasty of condottieri and became Countess of Forlì and Lady of Imola, ruling first with her husband Girolamo Riario, then as regent for their son Ottaviano Riario. From early on she acted with bold and impetuous force to protect her lands from usurpers and navigate political intrigue, her fearless character giving her the name La Tigre. She pursued alchemy, hunting, dance, and horse riding, commissioned art, collected jewels and clothing, and launched urban and military building projects. Of her many children, only the youngest — Giovanni delle Bande Nere — inherited her militant will. Her resistance to Cesare Borgia brought his fury and imprisonment; after gaining freedom in Rome, she withdrew to a quiet life in Florence, where she died on 28 May 1509.
