Book
The Borgias : power and fortune / Paul Strathern.
"The glorious and infamous history of the Borgia family--a world of saints, corrupt popes, and depraved princes and poisoners--set against the golden age of the Italian Renaissance."--Amazon.com
Corruption, incest, ruthless megalomania, avarice and vicious cruelty-- all have been associated with the name Borgia. But the family which produced corrupt popes, depraved princes and poisoners would also produce a saint. Strathern believes that, in order to understand the Borgias, one must understand the world which enabled them to flourish: the Renaissance. -- adapted from jacket.
