The sensational story of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious families in history.
The Borgias have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthlessness, avarice, and vicious cruelty – all have been associated with their name. But the story of this remarkable family is far more than a tale of sensational depravities – it also marks the golden age of the Italian Renaissance and a decisive turning point in European history.
From the family's Spanish roots and the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia, to the lives of his infamous offspring, Lucrezia and Cesare – the hero who dazzled Machiavelli, but also the man who befriended Leonardo da Vinci – Paul Strathern tells the captivating story of this great dynasty and the world in which they flourished.
A vivid insight into the hothouse world of papal politics in the tumultuous years before the Reformation.
