Da Vinci's Demons: Season 2 (2014)

In Season 2, intrepid adventurer-inventor Leonardo Da Vinci (Tom Riley) travels all over the known world (and some of the not-so-known) in his quest for the mystical Book of Leaves. In the season opener, the Pazzis strike, leaving the fate of Florence in Leonardo's hands. After restoring order to the beset city, Leonardo's quest leads him to attempt a crossing of the Atlantic, needless to say without maps. While he's out of the picture, the Medicis do their best (or worst) to establish themselves. When he reaches the fabled Vault of Heaven, Leonardo is surprised to discover that his mother, too, had once undertaken a mission to find the Book. Upon his return to Florence, he finds an iron-fisted Duke Federico (Vincent Riotta) ruling his subjects, and further bad news appears on the horizon as an armada of Ottoman warships arrives and all of Italy braces for the attack.
