"Cesare had forgotten, or chosen to ignore, the fact that María Enriquez de Luna had a personal dislike for him. The hatred of his brother's widow had been held against him ever since Juan's murder." — The Fall of the House of Borgia (Eric Russell Chamberlin)

Illustration: Our Lady of the Rosary and the Miracle of the Knight of Cologne (1510) Artist: Miguel Esteve (fl. 1507–1528)
