Books
Just a quick note to say that I ordered the two books and they should arrive within a week or two.

Moving On
From Sir's advice I have changed my question to "Evaluate the Papacy of Rodrigo Borgia". This seems alot more condensed from my previous question and it can easily come up with the same answers thankfully.
Anyway, after almost finishing "The Borgias and Their Enemies", I am now on the lookout for more books. Two books I have interest in (I referenced these two in my Proposal), are "The Borgias" by Marion Johnson and "The Borgias: The Rise and Fall of the Most Infamous Family in History" by Michael Mallett. I'm not so much looking for information about the lives of the Borgias anymore, I'm in fact looking for views and opinions. I have read that both these books (more so Mallett's) provide interesting opinions about Rodrigo. http://www.amazon.com/Borgias-Rise-Infamous-Family-History/product-reviews/0897332385/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
The customer reviews of the book suggest Mallett defends the Borgias extensively, which is why I have interest in looking at these two books. I will also, of course, record any new information these two books provide, but I think there will be a much bigger focus on opinion. So I will be on the lookout for these two books in the coming weeks.
One last quick note to say is that I've recorded and written down all the relevant notes/information I needed from the "March of Folly".
