Lucrezia Borgia is among the most fascinating and controversial
personalities of the Renaissance. The daughter of Pope Alexander
VI, she was intensely involved in the political life of Italy
during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. While her
marriage alliances helped advance the political objectives of the
papacy, she also held the office of Governor of Spoleto, a role
normally reserved for Cardinals, making her one of the most
powerful and dynamic female figures of the Renaissance. Among the
first books to employ historical method to move beyond myth and
romance that had obscured the fascinating story of Lucrezia Borgia
was the biography written by the noted German historian Ferdinand
Gregorovius. Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821-1891) was one of the
preeminent scholars of the Italian Renaissance. His biography of
Lucrezia Borgia reveals the atmosphere of the Renaissance, painting
a portrait of Lucrezia and her relationships with her father
Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, her brother Cesare, her mother
Vanozza, her father's mistress, Giulia Farnese, her husband Duke
Alfonso D'Este of Ferrara, and many others, including important
artists and writers of the time. All are vividly portrayed against
the colorful background of Renaissance Italy. Gregorovius separates
myth from documented fact and his book remains a key reference work
on the life and times of the Borgia princess. This new edition of
Gregorovius's classic work is enhanced with an introduction by
Samantha Morris, a noted expert on the history of the Borgias.
Samantha studied archaeology at the University of Winchester where
her interest in the history of the Italian Renaissance began. She
is the author of Cesare Borgia: In a Nutshell and Girolamo
Savonarola: The Renaissance Preacher. She also runs the website
theborgiabull.com.
Lucretia Borgia is the most unfortunate woman in modern history. Is
this because she was guilty of the most hideous crimes, or is it
simply because she has been unjustly condemned by the world to bear
its curse? The question has never been answered. Mankind is ever
ready to discover the personification of human virtues and human
vices in certain typical characters found in history.
