This blog entry was quoted in a post about The Borgias (2011) serie, and it's really quite interesting. It confronts The Borgias (2011) with Borgia: Faith and Fear (2011), and using that to explore the theme of "historical accuracy" in stories. How accurate can a story be, what exactly makes a story historically accurate, should a story even strive for that, what can changing one detail do?

As someone that has watched neither serie, I've found it very interesting and well written. Quite a fun read!

Cesare Borgia’s only real strategy is to make every morally dubious man he meets fall in love with him. And then he uses these men to do his bidding. And it just keeps on working.

Started The Borgias the day before yesterday and binged watched the entirety of season 1 it was quite entertaining to watch. Also THEM they have so much tension between each other.

I finally decided to watch it cuz the girlies on twt keep talking about it. There were some plots and things I didn't like since it made me uncomfortable, like Lucrezia's first time. I enjoyed the drama with the characters relationships forbidden/affairs that were all going on I loved the messiness. Cheering on everyone to pursue what they desire. I feel like the production team really put their efforts into this the costumes, hair, location plus the actors are hot. I'll continue with season 2 when I have time.

Holliday Grainger and Luke Pasqualino in The Borgias (2011–2013) The French King

S1E6

Lucrezia tends to her husband's injuries and with him unable to rise from his bed, spends more time with the stable boy Paulo, who becomes her lover. The King of Naples proposes a political between his daughter and Juan Borgia, who is not keen on the idea but suggests the younger Gioffre as a more suitable candidate. Upon seeing her he reconsiders but soon becomes her lover.Cesare meanwhile continues to pursue Ursula, whose husband has disappeared.When she learns of her husband's death, she knows Cesare is responsible and refuses to be with him. In France, Cardinal Della Rovere meets King Charles VIII who agrees to try and unseat the Borgia Pope, especially after he hears of the proposed union through marriage of Rome and Naples.

*By inviting him to cross his borders with no resistance, it was the Duke of Milan, not Cardinal Della Rovere that encouraged King Charles to invade Italy to pursue his Neapolitan claims.
