Felice della Rovere was born in 1483 into an extraordinary time in
Rome's history, its new Golden Age, the High Renaissance. Felice
was to witness Michelangelo paint the Sistine Ceiling, her father
Pope Julius II lay the foundation stone for New Saint Peter's, and
herself immortalized by Raphael in the frescoes in the Vatican
Palace apartments. But she was no reticent bystander. When she
became regent, Felice fought off all attempts to interfere with her
rule, engaging in a bitter feud with her stepson which culminated
in murder. Caroline Murphy sheds fascinating light on Felice's
daily life - how she dealt with squabbles amongst servants, why she
always knew the exact contents of her wine cellar, and her advice
on the best way to bribe a Pope.
