Lucretia Borgia. The Era and Life of a Dazzling Seductress

The book vividly describes the era of ruthless power struggles in the Vatican during the 15th century. The light-haired girl named Lucretia, who appeared on an April day, was destined to become an instrument of her father's political intrigues, the powerful Pope Alexander VI. The destructive tactics of concessions she adopted and her habit of ignoring what was happening around her turned the image of Lucretia Borgia into a symbol of the 'black widow' and poisoner.
