Lucrezia Borgia

Episode 4.6: Lucrezia Borgia

In the concluding part of our crossover with A History of Italy Podcast, we once again pull back the curtain to witness the decadent and deadly world of the Borgias. The daughter of Pope Alexander VI, Lucrezia was one of the most celebrated beauties of her day. Enemies of the Pope alleged that she used this beauty to attract men to their doom, all part of the Borgia's dastardly scheming. We ask who the real Lucrezia might have been - the woman behind the image of the femme fatale - and then we learn about the fate of perhaps the most notorious family of Renaissance Italy.
