Machiavelli Machiavelli lived during the Renaissance era of the Medieval times. In this time period many concepts and ideas were being reborn‚ including the Christian faith. He lived during a time period in which the people of the time thought of the Black Plague as a symptom of judgment upon the sinfulness of the land.
