The wiki article I read said Lucretia wasnt as she has been portrayed...they think. Her affiliation tied her to their actions but she herself was innocent. But...it also stated she and her father were on a balcony watching her brother (I think it was her brother) killed villagers as sport.
This guy was a Pope. Makes ya wonder, doesnt it? Which is why I have a problem with "organized" religion. I wonder how many popes were popes because of what they did to BECOME pope.
House of Borgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historian Johann Burchard, contemporary of Alexander VI, who lived in the Vatican, states about Cesare:
One day he went so far as to have the square of St Peter enclosed by a palisade, into which he ordered some prisoners - men, women and children - to be brought. He then had them bound, hand and foot, and being armed and mounted on a fiery charger, commenced a horrible attack upon them. Some he shot, and others he cut down with his sword, trampling them under his horse's feet. In less than half-an-hour, he wheeled around alone in a puddle of blood, among the dead bodies of his victims, while his Holiness and Madam Lucrezia, from a balcony, enjoyed the sight of that horrid scene.

Well that's certainly colorful but possibly not accurate.
Still, it has limitless story telling potential. I hope they do it right, instead of just making it an incest story, I can't handle that. And why they find it necessary that we should WATCH sex scenes play out in real time, c'MON. I know what sex is..can we just get enough to know it happened and then move on???
though I did love the Tudors..for a while. Then it got so boring. It's like, okay there are 3.2 sex scenes in every single episode....one to start the episode, one to end it, one in the middle, and then the previews.
Lots of murders!
I was just reading up on the Borgias...maybe it was Dynasties on hulu.....Lucretia and the boys are the bastard children of the pope, they lived openly with him. She was used as a pawn by them and had at least one husband killed by them. One of her brothers was killed and dumped in a canal...I don't remember what happened to the other. I think he might have either been murdered or executed as well.
Heavy metal has been running a s reies for years not much costumes mostly nudes and sex orgies its gtrreatI am so looking forward to The Borgias tomorrow night!
So, this thread is set for Review Time.

a fucking spoiler alert would have been nice.....
lots of women commenting here......must be a chick flick type of series.....
Finally got around to watching it last night; and it's one of those all too rare entertainment offerings which actually exceeded my expectations. No spoilers, but I will say:
- Sumptuous production values; they definitely had the budget to enable
- Perfectly timed and scenery chewing by Jeremy Irons, he's riveting
- The rest of cast is quite well suited to their parts
- Very good dialogue and pacing
I said NO SPOILERS, bub.
Ruta Gedmintas’s first professional role was in an episode of the English boob-tube series Waking the Dead. Well, this small-breasted blonde can do that and more, as she proved a couple of years later with her recurring role as Elizabeth Blout on The Tudors. Her sex scene with the king in the series opener will leave your pants knighted.
