He wrote against duelling in 1583, at a time when his patron was active against banditry.[4] He wrote a very detailed attack on Jean Bodin's theoretical dismissal of mixed constitutions.[2] He equated reason of state with Machiavellianism.[5] His La Republica regia (published 1627) was a counter to Machiavelli.[6]
Family
His children included Cardinal Niccolò Albergati-Ludovisi.[7]
