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.

  1. Hibbert is a good writer so this might be interesting:
    The Borgias and Their Enemies: 1431-1519
    Christopher Hibbert
    Will bring you in something else to read on Thursday.

  2. Thanks Sir, Sounds like an interesting read. I've looked at a few other books as well, but the one by Hibbert seems to be a good, well written account.
