Rafael Sabatini 
The Strolling Saint (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1913, this swashbuckling yet satirical adventure, set in the sixteenth century, tells of Agostino d’Anguissola, a nobleman raised in extreme piety by his devout mother. But Agostino finds himself exposed to the raw passion and deadly politics of the wider world upon learning more about his father’s rebellious ways.
