Lucrezia Borgia

Lucrezia Borgia belonged to the Italian family (of Spanish origin) most corrupt in history. In particular, it has been found guilty of murder by poisoning, incest and many other atrocities. Lucretia Borgia is the MOST unfortunate woman in modern history (Faunce, 2003).However, had a dual character, because at times, it was thought most chaste women, and others living hell. The story has not decided on what position to take, because the atrocities that are attributed are not checked (Faunce, 2003).The daughter of Pope Alexander VI has gone down in history as guilty of the worst crimes. In fact, Lucrecia was a cultured and refined young, when still a teenager, he had to serve the political interests of his father and his brother Caesar.

Beautiful, cultured and refined, Lucrecia was primarily a pawn in the service of the ambitions of his father, Pope Alexander VI, and his brother Cesar feared that the policy involved in the troubled Italian. On April 18, 1480, Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia called at his home in Rome to astrologers to know the future of a newborn. The girl's name was Lucrecia, and her mother was Vannozza Cattanei, a beautiful Roman married by then with the San Croce Giorgio Milanese gentleman. The real father, however, was Cardinal Borgia, who was the favorite concubine Vannozza for years.

Since then, Lucrecia quickly became an object of desire for the main Italian families, eager to be a parent to the daughter of the holder of the throne of St. Peter. His proposal to unite Lucrezia to Giovanni Sforza, a relative of his and his brother the Duke of Milan, Ludovico IL Moro, was accepted by the Borgias, they got, well, a powerful ally in northern and central Italy. However, the fate of the young couple quickly dashed (Lucrezia, 2004).

Los Borgia then began a lengthy process to justify the annulment of the marriage. It was argued that the relationship had been fruitless, and even Lucrecia said they had not come to consummate. In December 1494, two members of the curia cardinals confirmed that Lucrecia was a virgin, as Giovanni "was completely impotent and frigid nature." Lucrecia then withdrew to the convent of St. Sixtus in Rome. A new link marriage ended ...
