Decent Progress

Again, I've been really busy these holidays so the amount of time I've had to do work/research has been reduced to some extent but nonetheless I have managed to write my next blog.                      
So far, I've completely watched the whole first season of "The Borgias" and begun reading "The March of Folly".
The TV series was quite interesting and intriguing. However, I did not gather information from every episode as the series focused on all members of the Borgia family and not just Rodrigo, which was expected and alluded to by the title.  The main events in the season revolving around Rodrigo included his rise to the papacy, how he got there, what occured afterwards due to the rise, actions he took after becoming Pope Sixtus and finally the latter half of the season focused on King Charles and the French army's march through the Papal and Italian states and how Rodrigo, being the Pope and such, deals with that. 
The season contained nine episode and each one roughly went 50 mins-1 hour long. The series has apparently been renewed for a second season, which hopfully won't take long to be released to view.  
The names for each of the episodes of the first season include: The Poisoned Chalice, The Assassin, The Moor, Lucrezia's Wedding, The Borgias in Love, The French King, Death On a Pale Horse, The Art of War and Nessuno (Nobody).
While the series was interesting, not all of it was historical fact (which was expected to an extent). The core story was mostly accurate but there was, here and there, glimpses of historical inaccuracy. (e.g. The times (in terms of what events occured first, then next) was slightly inaccurate in some places.
In a few areas, where some events occured in a specific way they instead historically occured in another way.
The Wikipedia site for the Borgias contains detailed information on each episode of the series. One section dicusses what occured in each episode and contrasts it with what historically occured.
This is the website: http://theborgias.wetpaint.com/
However, the main story was reasonably fairly accurate as most events depicted actually did occur.

The book "The March of Folly" I have just begun reading. I started off reading the introduction (as suggested by Sir) which discusses the concept of 'Folly' and the writer uses relevant historical examples to further emphasis and explain the concept. I'm just over halfway through the introduction (its quite lengthy) and afterwards I can begin reading the chapter on Pope Alexander the VI.

Finally, I have ordered Hibbert's book "The Borgias and their Enemies" and estimate it to arrive around New Years at the earliest and a month later at the latest. This is only a estimate though, so I'm not 100% sure.

So far, there has been decent progress and until Hibbert's book arrives I will continue reading "The March of Folly". I will continue doing some research on the web every so often as well
