Research

So i'm still continuing my research on Rodrigo Borgia. I have looked at a few sites including:
http://www.lifeinitaly.com/heroes-villains/rodrigo-borgia.asp
http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/italyandthecitystates/a/The-Borgias.htm

and of course, Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI

I've also watched a couple of episodes of the tv series, "The Borgias" (I also have the whole series recorded).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1582457/

So far, i've done a decent amount of research and will continue to do so. I've haven't made a definite decision yet and my mind is still open for ideas. However, so far, im still fairly set on Rodrigo Borgia and the question, of whether he was historically intrepreted in a positive or negative way.

For my first blog i've done abit of research and looked at different topics. I'm considering doing Rodrigo Borgia and his rise to Pope Alexander VI during the Renaissance and whether he was interpreted as being a good man or a criminal. I've also been looking at assassinations, influential historical figures, organisations/groups and important events. So i'm not really sure what i want to do yet but im still researching and looking at different topics.
