The daughter of a notorious pope, she was twice betrothed before the age of eleven and thrice married--one husband was forced to declare himself impotent and thereby unfit and another was murdered by Lucrezia's own brother, Cesar Borgia. She is cast in the role of murderess, temptress, incestuous lover, loose woman, femme fatale par excellence. But there is always more than one version of a story. Lucrezia Borgia is the only woman in history to serve as the head of the Catholic Church. She successfully administered several of the Renaissance Italy's most thriving cities, founded one of the world's first credit unions, and was a generous patron of the arts. She was mother to a prince and to a cardinal. She was a devoted wife to the Prince of Ferrara, and the lover of the poet Pietro Bembo. She was a child of the renaissance and in many ways the world's first modern woman."--jacket flap. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 243). 600 10 $a Borgia, Lucrezia, $d 1480-1519 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Alexander $b VI, $c Pope, $d 1431-1503 $v Fiction. 600 30 $a Borgia family $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y 15th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nobility $z Papal States $z Papal States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Shugaar, Antony, $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702022227.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024034.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091703.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105062029.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20151002013323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC0E76743FEE11E5A6B643A4DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
