Lucretia Borgia

Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821 - 1891)
Translated by John Leslie Garner (1862 - 1925)

According to Original Documents and Correspondence of Her Day. Lucretia Borgia is the most unfortunate woman in modern history. Is this because she was guilty of the most hideous crimes, or is it simply because she has been unjustly condemned by the world to bear its curse? The question has never been answered. (Summary from the Introduction)
