“The Borgias” vs. “Borgia: Faith and Fear” (accuracy in historical fiction) – Ex Urbe Historical Fiction, The Borgias, The Borgia, Borgia Faith And Fear, Borgia Tv Series, Historical Drama, Series, It Crowd, Les Borgias

A French “Spot the Saint” themed poster for “Borgia: Faith and Fear” assigning Cesare the attributes: archbishop’s robes, scythe, dagger, bloody hands, blood. The French caption reads “Don’t have faith in them.” I can’t argue. There was a Borgia boom in 2011 when, aiming to capitalize on the commercial success of The Tudors, the television world realized there was one obvious way to up the ante. Not one but two completely unrelated Borgia TV series were made in 2011. Many have run across the…

By the end of the fifteenth century, the beauty and creativity of Italy is matched only by its brutality and corruption. When Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia buys his way into the papacy, he is defined not just by his wealth, charisma and power, but by his blood: a Spanish Pope in a city run by Italians. If he is to succeed, he must use his Machiavellian son and innocent daughter. Stripping away the myths around the Borgias, Blood & Beauty breathes life into the astonishing family of Alexander VI and celebrates the raw power of history itself: compelling, complex, and relentless.

Decorate laptops, Hydro Flasks, cars and more with removable kiss-cut, vinyl decal stickers. Glossy, matte, and transparent options in various sizes. Super durable and water-resistant. The four 'life generators' of the Aztec pantheon are clockwise from top left, Huitzilopochtli - 'eternal will', Tezcatlipoca - 'consciousness/memory', Quetzalcoatl - precious knowledge and Xipe Totec - Transformation. They have all been meticulously reproduced in digital format and superimposed and 'framed' within a frame borrowed from the codex Borgia as well, including the colouring, and the exaggerated effect of manuscript paper. It's worth noting that how they are depicted here is not how they appear in the Borgia Codex, this is a composite design. I have added elements from Aztec art including the 'Huna

"Lucrezia 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...We possess the history of Alexander VI and Cesare, but of Lucrezia Borgia we have little more than a legend, according to which she is a fury, the poison in one hand, the poignard in the other; and yet this baneful personality possessed all
