Practice Reference Edits: Lucrezia Borgia
editHer brothers included Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, and Gioffre Borgia.[1]
Neither partner was faithful: Lucrezia enjoyed a long relationship with her bisexual brother-in-law[2][3] as well as a love affair with the poet Pietro Bembo.
Lucrezia Borgia died in Ferrara on 24 June 1519 from complications after giving birth to her eighth child. She was buried in the convent of Corpus Domini.[4]
- It is rumored that Lucrezia was in possession of a hollow ring that she used frequently to poison drinks. [1] [2] [3]
- An early 20th-century painting by Frank Cadogan Cowper that hangs in the London art gallery, Tate Britain, portrays Lucrezia taking the place of her father, Alexander VI at an official Vatican meeting. This apparently documents an actual event, although the precise moment depicted, (a Franciscan friar kissing Lucrezia's feet), was invented by the artist.[4]
