{"product_id":"lucrezia-borgia-isbn-9780143035954","title":"Lucrezia Borgia","description":"The very name Lucrezia Borgia conjures up everything that was sinister and corrupt about the Renaissance—incest, political assassination, papal sexual abuse, poisonous intrigue, unscrupulous power grabs. Yet, as bestselling biographer Sarah Bradford reveals in this breathtaking new portrait, the truth is far more fascinating than the myth. Neither a vicious monster nor a seductive pawn, Lucrezia Borgia was a shrewd, determined woman who used her beauty and intelligence to secure a key role in the political struggles of her day.\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a trove of contemporary documents and fascinating firsthand accounts, Bradford brings to life the art, the pageantry, and the dangerous politics of the Renaissance world Lucrezia Borgia helped to create.\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor's Note\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eMaps\u003cbr\u003eGenealogical Tables showing the Borgia, Este and Aragona Families\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scene\u003cbr\u003eCast of Principal Characters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: The Pope's Daughter 1480-1501\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
