Review

"[A] vivid chronicle of the notoriously corrupt Renaissance family."

Publisher's note

Set against the backdrop of Rome during the Italian Renaissance, a definitive new biography of the Borgia family looks at the dynasty's rise to ultimate power from its Spanish roots, while profiling its powerful patriarch, Pope Alexander VI; his daughter, Lucrezia; and his ruthless son Cesare, the model for Machiavelli's The Prince.

Annotation

In this family portrait and historical study of the infamous Borgia family, historian Christopher Hibbert opens a fascinating window into the world of the Italian Renaissance. Hibbert's portraits of Lucrezia, her brother Cesare, and her father, Pope Alexander VI, show how life in the court and on the historical stage were the result of the most base and venal human motives. Hibbert provides generous doses of both high intrigue and everyday events of the times, and the result is a solid and entertaining history in the old style.
