Beskrivning
Lucrezia Borgia (1480 – 1519) was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI. Her brothers included Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, and Gioffre Borgia.Her family arranged several marriages for her that advanced their own political position, including Giovanni Sforza (Lord of Pesaro), Alfonso of Aragon (Duke of Bisceglie), and Alfonso I d'Este (Duke of Ferrara). It was rumoured that her brother Cesare had Alfonso of Aragon murdered since his political value waned, making his sister a widow.
She was described as having heavy blonde hair that fell past her knees, a beautiful complexion, hazel eyes that changed color, a full, high bosom, and a natural grace that made her appear to "walk on air".
She became mother to seven or eight known children. Several bruits have persisted throughout the years, primarily speculating as to the nature of the extravagant parties thrown by the Borgia family. Many of these concern allegations of incest, poisoning, and murder on her part. What is true might be found in this biography, concerning all the Borgia papal family.
Lucrezia is claimed to be the ancestor of many notable people, including American Civil War Confederate general P. G. T. Beauregard.
