Niccolo Machiavelli is murdered instead of being let go. Politcal effects? Effects on policy?

I'm not sure The Prince has that much of an effect, really. It was good reading, but the philosophy it espouses was already around - sort of like Adam Smith didn't invent the market economy, he just made it accessible to the average reader.
But on the positive side, we wouldn't have a poloitical adjective that gets forever misspelled. Who'ds qualify for the dubious honour of naming ruthless politics then? Would we be calling it Bodinesque? Cromwellian?
