	Lucrezia Borgia
		Lucrezia was informed of the plot by her older brother, Cesare, and secretly told her husband to flee, which he later did, to Rome.
		Lucrezia tended to him with all the care and love she could give and just as he was recovering, Cesare arrived at the apartments and ordered Lucrezia and the servants from the room.
		In 1507, Cesare Borgia died at the siege of Viana at the age of thirty-one, and although he was a bloody and heartless man yet cultured man and the murder of her second husband, Lucrezia grieved deeply.

		LUCREZIA BORGIA (1480-1519), duchess of Ferrara, daughter of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, afterwards Pope Alexander VI.
		Lucrezia was educated according to the usual curriculum of Renaissance ladies of rank, and was taught languages, music, embroidery, painting, andc.; she was famed for her beauty and charm, but the corrupt court of Rome in which she was brought up was not conducive to a good moral education.
		On Lucrezia's arrival at Ferrara she won over her reluctant husband by her youthful charm (she was only twenty-two), and from that time forth she led a peaceful life, about which there was hardly a breath of scandal.

	The Borgias
		Lucrezia, informed by her brother Cesare that Giovanni was to be murdered, warned her husband, and he fled Rome.
		Lucrezia was delighted to be rid of her boring husband, and Alexander and Cesare even more delighted with the prospect of arranging another profitable marriage for Lucrezia.
		Giovanni was passed from guardian to guardian, eventually ending up with Lucrezia in Ferrara as "her half brother." The unfortunate Giovanni never inherited his titles, and, after a lifetime of serving as a minor functionary in the courts of the Vatican and France, died relatively unknown in 1548.

	Lucrezia Borgia, by Sarah Bradford
		Lucrezia delivered three heirs and proved herself an energetic, capable and clever consort, as adept at diplomacy as she was at dancing.
		Lucrezia was born in 1480, the illegitimate daughter of the rapaciously ambitious Rodrigo Borgia, whose subsequent election as Pope raised him to a position of unparalleled power in Christendom.
		Lucrezia was declared to be still a virgin, but the claim ‘set all Italy laughing’, not least because she was rumoured to be having an affair with her father.

		Lucrezia Borgia, duchess of Ferrara, daughter of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, afterwards Pope Alexander VI, by his mistress Vanozza dei Cattanei, was born at Rome in 1480.
		Lucrezia was educated according to the usual curriculum of Renaissance ladies of rank, and was taught languages, music, embroidery, painting, etc.; she was famed for her beauty and charm, but the corrupt court of Rome in which she was brought up was not conducive to a good moral education.

		Lucrezia Borgia is legendary as the archetypal villainess who carried out the poisoning plotted by her scheming father—Pope Alexander VI, aka Rodrigo Borgia—and by her ruthlessly ambitious brother Cesare.
		Lucrezia emerges as a political realist who participated with her father and brother in a campaign to marry into the powerful Este family, winning the affections of her new husband, Alfonso d'Este, later Duke of Ferrara.
		The illegitimate daughter of Pope Alexander VI, Lucrezia was initially a pawn to be married and divorced according to the whims and the political ambitions of her father and her brother.

	Lucrezia Borgia by Sarah Bradford: Reviews
		Since no portrait of Lucrezia Borgia as a true Renaissance woman would be complete without a trace of scandal, this compelling biography is irresistibly interwoven with plenty of period gossip, sex, and intrigue.
		Bradford, returning to the Borgias after biographical forays into the dynasties of the Windsors and Kennedys, makes it clear that Lucrezia, while aware of her father and brother's infamy, was brought up in a world where male dominance was taken for granted.
		Bradford's effort to focus on Lucrezia's genteel diplomacy marks a significant departure from Machiavelli's cynical take on many of the same events, and makes it all the more distressing that a woman of this intelligence and spirit should have been relegated by her family and her society to so circumscribed a life.

		Lucrezia is accused by her husband, heir to the duchy of Ferrara of poisoning one of her ladies-in waiting.
		Lucrezia has but recently returned to court from the Convent of Corpus Domini when her husband, Alfonso d'Este, publicly accuses her of having had a hand in poisoning Bianca Tedaldo -- one of the unwanted ladies that her father-in-law, the Duke, had installed as her ladies-in-waiting, and Alfonso's (or so he claims) latest mistress.
		At first, Lucrezia is devastated at the accusation; but then she begins to reflect: Bianca was hardly the type of lady that Alfonso would ever be attracted to, even if she was rather pretty -- Alfonso prefers his women coarser and cleverer, and Bianca wasn't exactly bright.

	Lucrezia Borgia - Sarah Bradford - Penguin Group (USA)
		Neither a vicious monster nor a seductive pawn, Lucrezia Borgia was a shrewd, determined woman who used her beauty and intelligence to secure a key role in the political struggles of her day.
		Born the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Cardinal Borgia and his scheming mistress, Vannozza Cattanei, Lucrezia was twelve when her father became Pope Alexander VI and thirteen when she was forced into her first marriage.
		Bradford argues that in her maturity Lucrezia was an enlightened ruler, kind and decisive in time of war, generous to the poets and artists of her court, passionate in love, and utterly indifferent to sexual morality.

		Lucrezia, it is said, did some highly immoral things to gain power and prestige in 1600's Italy.
		Such actions included marrying for wealth, power and name alone, having an incestious affair with her father for the same reasons and having a man, her husband, killed when he had served her to what she thought was all she needed.
		On another note, as well, I felt Bradford lost focus of Lucrezia herself and floated on telling how she was secondarly affected only by her father and brother's actions.

		I read many historical romances in which she was presented as a very dangerous woman, responsible for the creation of a terrible poison which killed without trace.
		Now, many years later, Lucrezia’s image changed, and her reputation was duly restaured and now she is described as a sweet woman, passive and completely dominated by her powerful father and her infamous brother.

	Lucrezia Borgia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Italian noblewoman, famous figure of the Italian Renaissance; daughter of Pope Alexander VI and of Vannozza Cattanei, was probably a victim of her father and of her brother, Cesare Borgia, who maneuvered and contorted her marital affairs and created her destiny..
		Her brother, Cesare Borgia, had her second husband murdered in 1499, and a year later Lucrezia was given as wife to Alfonso d'Este, who became duke of Ferrara in 1505.
		Be as it may, the figure of Lucrezia Borgia was the inspiration of a drama by Victor Hugo, a melodrama by Gaetano Donizetti, and a great numbers of novels reflecting these rumors and legends.
