Intro

My Project writing has gone underway. What I'm trying/planned to do is attack the subsidiary questions and strike the essay at its core. This will leave the structure messy, but as I write piece by piece the structure will strengthen as I do constant sweeps and write out rough drafts.
This is my intro so far to the essay, any feedback is appreciative, bear in mind though  its a rough, vague draft:

" Rodrigo Borgia was both a famous and infamous Italian Renaissance Pope from the late 15th/ early 16th century. He led a life of intrigue and left one burning question that many have pondered, whether he was as vindictive as many claim or a good and justified Pope. My main purpose is to evaluate the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia. "

Hopfully when time frees up soon I can write up a complete rough draft.
So far I feel pleased with my Project and where it's going. The only areas that I feel I need to improve on is devoting my time more to the project/reading and evaluating.

Unfortunately the progress through Mallett's book has slowed, but I should be able to read plenty over the next week or so and explain his view in more depth.
