“Early on the morning of July 27, disguised as a knight of the Order of St. John and accompanied by only three companions, he rode out of Urbino with his destination, as usual, unstated. The next day he showed up in Ferrara, where he found an epidemic of some kind ravaging the city and his sister Lucrezia both pregnant and dangerously ill. The two talked all night, using the Valencian dialect that had been the language of their childhood and that prevented eavesdroppers from understanding what they said.” @lucreceborgia I wonder what could have been so secretive and important that they felt the need to speak in the Valencian dialect. especially if we are to consider the image that some historians want us to have of Lucrezia ( the pawn, the vapid fool that knew nothing of her family’s plans ever, the angel. hehe)
