Description

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.
