	All About Jean Plaidy
		Her greatest joy was to collect a pile of dusty old history books, read them all from cover to cover, and then transform the events they described into exciting narratives which have captivated millions of readers over the past 40 years.
		Jean Plaidy is also well-known for the Gothic romances she wrote under the name ‘Victoria Holt’ and her massive ‘Daughters of England’ saga, spanning more than four centuries, for which she used the pseudonym ‘Philippa Carr’.
		Her two books based on the incredible life of Lucrezia Borgia were written in tandems with A Triptych of Poisoners (1958), a nonfictious study of the nefarious careers of Cesare Borgia, Marie d’Aubray and Edward Pritchard (‘star’ of Flesh and the Devil).

		In this compelling novel Jean Plaidy tells of the rise of Rogerigo Borgia to the death of his daughter Lucrezia.
		But Louis cared only for the thrills of hunting and gambling, the excitements of war, until even these paled before the sensual delights offered by a succession of mistresses - from beautiful waiting women to the celebrated Marquise de Pompadour.
		Jean Plaidy, with all her novelist's perception and skill, tells the story of Ferdinand and Isabella, the monarchs who brought the Inquisition into Spain in the fifteenth- century, and allowed it to flourish so hideously.

	Eleanor Hibbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are Philippa Carr and Victoria Holt.
		Her work as Holt differed significantly from the more numerous novels written under the better-known name of Jean Plaidy, but was equally popular with a different fan base.
		Holt's novels, such as Mistress of Mellyn (1960), were not "straight" historical novels, despite having a historical setting, but were pseudo-gothic romances with an element of suspense mainly set within the Victorian era unless otherwise noted (*).

	The Life of Cesare Borgia
		One man knew Cesare Borgia better, perhaps, than did any other contemporary, of the many who have left more or less valuable records; for the mind of that man was the acutest of its age, one of the acutest Italy and the world have ever known.
		Giovanni Borgia was in Spain, whither he had gone on the death of his brother Pedro Luis, to take posession of the Duchy of Gandia, which the power of his father's wealth and vast influence at the Valencian Court had obtained for that same Pedro Luis.
		The former allude to Borgia as ``the Bull,'' from the majesty and might of the animal that was displayed upon their shield; the latter render it the subject of much scurrilous invective, to which it lends itself as readily.

		These schemes include using sister Lucrezia as a pawn by setting her up in a series of marriages and then eliminating her husbands in one way or another in order to move her up the next step of the ladder.
		A vivid and unforgettable look at the cruel Borgia family and their activities; it doesn't pull punches however, and should not be viewed by children or the sensitive.
		It's too bad the picture and audio of the source material weren't in better shape, but the main feature is highly interesting and the supporting shorts both have their merits.

		The next Jean Plaidy title that we'll be reissuing is THE COURTS OF LOVE, which was book 5 in her Queens of England series.
		It's the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who after Elizabeth I is probably my favorite of all the English queens (well, she wasn't English herself, but she was Queen of England!).

		In the title role of Abel Gance's "Lucrece Borgia" (1935), Feuillere engendered controversy for a brief nude scene.
		Following her stage triumph in the Dumas work, she went on to create a number of unforgettable roles including the Queen in Jean Cocteau's "L'Aigle a deux tetes/The Eagle With Two Heads" (which she recreated in the 1948 film version) and a femme fatale in "Partage de Midi", opposite Jean-Louis Barrault.

	A Critical History of the Inquisition of Spain by Juan Antonio Llorente
		Philip V maintained the Inquisition from considerations of mistaken policy, inherited from Louis XIV, who made him believe that such rigour would ensure the tranquillity of the kingdom, which was always in danger when many religions were tolerated.
		The importunity of this legate induced Louis VIII, King of France, to place himself at the head of an army to march against the nobles who protected the Albigenses.
		But Louis died in the same year, and the pope followed him, without having succeeded in giving a permenant form to the new tribunal which had been introduced into France.
