Lucrezia Borgia - The Pope’s Poison Princess?

Lucrezia Borgia - The Pope’s Poison Princess?

For 500 years Lucrezia Borgia has been the focus of operas, novels, movies, and televisions shows. She was one of the inspirations for Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. Nearly all of these works further her reputation as a femme fatale and one of the most evil women in history. It is said that she went through 3 husbands, used a poison ring to murder her enemies, and slept with her father and brother. But was she really such a depraved, licentious villain? Or was she the victim of a twisted family and vengeful gossip? Let’s separate reality from the arsenic dipped rumors and get to know the true Lucrezia Borgia Rodrigo Borgia - Pope Alexander VI Cesare Borgia Giovanni Borgia Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
