When I watched Medici, the barrage came to Borgia, which is the Borgia in the theory of monarchy. I was interested in looking for resources.
It turns out that in the Internet novels I read in junior high school, the Duke of Poison who fell in love with his sister is Caesar Borgia, and I knew this legend so early.
Caesar Borgia was the illegitimate son of Rodgers Borgia. His father became the Pope. Caesar was also promoted to Cardinal. He dealt with the Pope’s unseen things one after another, but Caesar’s ambition was Commanding the army and conquering the battlefield to open up the territory, it also feels quite depressed. There is one thing that makes people think that Caesar is really powerful. When the French king joined Catalina Sforza and other soldiers to avenge the city of Rome, Caesar was calm and calm, and successfully bluffed them with a cannon made of clay, forcing them to withdraw from the city. , This kind of guts is not something ordinary people can have. By the end of the second season, Caesar killed his brother Juan and once again asked the Pope to relieve him of his bishop duties, and the Pope had to agree. Although Caesar is not a cardinal in the third season, he still can't get the army and power he wants. He himself won a French army for himself and recruited a group of capable men. Caesar became more and more ruled. In the last episode of the third season, Caesar led an army to conquer the city of Frieze and captured Catalina Sforza. His glory has begun, but the TV series have stopped abruptly. (It is said to have been chopped)
But what impressed me the most in the whole series was Micheletto, who was followed behind him by Caesar in the first episode. This killer in the dark told his mother that he was studying medicine, but he actually watched all the deaths. He doesn't believe in love, but he is loyal to Caesar and guards him like a loyal dog. We can feel the difference he has for Caesar, leading to speculation that this is out of love for Caesar. It was revealed in the second season that Xiaomi is really a homosexual, so maybe he really loves Caesar. For Caesar, he personally killed his little lover and then disappeared. At the end when Caesar was about to attack the city, he came back to tell him the main points of the siege, and then it was a farewell.
Another impressive is Lucretia Borgia, Caesar's sister and the illegitimate daughter of the Pope. From the beginning of the first season, she was still an innocent girl who enjoys a luxurious life. Until her father married her to Sforza, who did not know how to pity, for profit, she experienced the cruelty in her first marriage. In reality, she couldn’t feel the beauty of marriage, so she cheated on a young groom. Life with the groom would not be too bad. Unfortunately, the groom was finally killed by his brother Juan, who also threatened to take her with her. The groom's child was thrown downstairs. I think this was the fuse that Caesar would finally make up his mind to kill Juan. After all, the most important thing Caesar saw was Lucretia. Luxia is worthy of being a member of the Borgia family. France fought with Rome. Luxia, who fled home from Sforza’s territory, happened to collide with the French army and became a captive of the French king, but she did not show any timidity. Instead, relying on his courage and charm to deal with the French king and the banner officer Juan, successfully pacified the French king's withdrawal of troops. The King was also innocent. Seeing that the Pope was wearing a plain robe, he thought that the Pope was really a holy person with no desires, and immediately apologized to him and confided his troubles to him. Such a simple person will suffer politically.
