LUCREZIA BORGIA is one of those great historical figures whose
reputation bears little relation to the facts of their life. Largely
because of the family into which she was born, and by which she was
used in its endless power struggles, Lucrezia has been remembered as
a voluptuous but murderous sex-fiend. In this biography, the first
serious study since Maria Bellonci's more than 50 years ago, Sarah
Bradford does much to put the record straight.
