Daughter of Darkness

Murder and treachery have always clung to the name of Borgia, thanks to the scandalous rumours recorded by the chroniclers of the times. Their infamy has rubbed off on to those associated with them: Machiavelli's admiration for Cesare still blots his own reputation, and Guilia Farnese, the Pope's mistress, was nicknamed 'The Bride of Christ' by her contemporaries. Lucrezia, the willing victim of her ambitious and incestuous family, has been remembered as a debauched Salome.
