Borgias The list of archbishoprics, bishoprics, abbacies, and other dignities he held was unusually long, and, though he was strictly abstemious in his eating and drinking, he kept a magnificent household and gambled notoriously at cards. Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of Ferrara, was a model wife and princess until she died in 1519. Julius II, an archenemy of the Borgias was elected pope in 1503 and immediately deprived Cesare of the remainder of his holdings. www.mmdtkw.org /VBorgias.html   (3854 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Alexander VI To the Romans especially, who had come to regard Borgia as one of themselves, and who predicted a pontificate at once splendid and energetic, the choice was most acceptable; and they manifested their joy in bonfires, torchlight processions, garlands of flowers, and the erection of triumphal arches with extravagant inscriptions. Lucrezia's marriage with Sforza was declared null on the ground of the latter's impotence, and she was given as wife to Alfonso of Biseglia, an illegitimate son of Alfonso II. It was the political use made by the Borgias of their opportunity, and the prospective alliance of France and the Holy See, which now drove several of the Powers of Europe to the verge of schism. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01289a.htm   (5465 words)

The Borgias Such is the legacy of the Borgia family that established itself in one of Italy's most glorious periods, and that, in many ways, dominated the Renaissance with power and intrigue for fifty years. Another, Cesare Borgia, was, for a time, a cardinal, elevated to that position by his acknowledged father, Alexander VI, and later, after leaving holy orders, a murderous and ruthless duke.

Prophesies about the Papacy Thurston goes on at some length about the Malachy list, with some real slick analysis based on the original publication in 1595. To sum up, he believes the list was a fake that originated with that book. He points out that all of the papal descriptions up to the 1595 date are very accurate and usually related to elements appearing in the coat of arms of the man who would be pope. members.tripod.com /EsotericTexts02/PapalProphesiesMalachyList.htm   (1604 words)

Amazon.com: The Borgias (Classic Biography): Books: Marion Johnson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) The name Borgia is synonymous with the political corruption, greed, incest, and murder that was rife in Renaissance Italy. In this beautifully illustrated work, Johnson plots the dramatic rise of the Borgias from their roots in Spain to their occupation of the highest position in Renaissance society in Italy at a time when that country occupied centerstage in Europe, both politically and culturally. She explains why history has depicted the Borgias as fallen angels in a corrupt era, but considers the condemnation to have been too absolute and maintains that behind the gaudy horrors existed people of real talent and achievement, some of whom even possessed moderate virtues. www.amazon.com /Borgias-Classic-Biography-Marion-Johnson/dp/0141390751   (1212 words)

VHS : Borgias - product review The Borgias rose to the height of power and influence in Renaissance Italy by a combination of cunning, wealth and ruthlessness. It was spellbinding and Adolfo Celi made Rodrigo Borgia COME ALIVE with his amazing portrayal of that Spanish Pope.

[The Gay Comics List ~ Chiaroscuro: the Private Lives of Leonardo da Vinci] He was released without trial, probably because the case involved men from important families. Rawson, McGreal and Truog have built a story incorporating all the historical data they could find, but added a lot of conjectures spinning a fascinating web in which many famous people from the time are entangled: Machiavelli, one of the Borgias, Michelangelo... But this book is a wonderful drama where the gay themes and images are never brushed under the carpet, but rather given equal time on the stage with all the other aspects of this complex and moving story. gaycomicslist.free.fr /pages/reviews.php?review=chiaroscuro   (505 words)

This list is of course incomplete and reflective of personal tastes and prejudices of those who compiled it. What strikes me most is the almost universal sense that to be on the "one true list", ideally, a book must be written by a Scottish author; in the absence of that, it should be set or at least written in Scotland. news.scotsman.com /index.cfm?id=319582007   (8109 words)

Prophesies about the Papacy In "a book titled The War and the Prophets by Herbert Thurston (1856-1939), published in 1915 and obviously referring to World War I, Thurston looks over historical prophecies to see who had given warning of what was an overwhelming end of the world scenario then unfolding.

[LNC] Fwd: [CSL]: Sadism_-_A_political_sport.? One of the many Borgias', Machiavellian tactics that we probably have all experienced in our everyday lives and with politics; is that they never let people know what their agendas actually are until it is too late.

Benzene 4 I had seen it several times before in footnote citations, and from the nature of the references and the subtitle of the book, I had a pretty good idea that it was the sort of book I'd like. It's a short narrative review of English history with the names and events amusingly jumbled, reminiscent of those lists you sometimes see purporting to be humorously wrong answers given by real students on real history tests, but without the phony claim of authenticity.
