Last I checked he had Ezio Auditore da Firenzes dad and two brothers hanged on trumped up charges and Ezio became an Assassin.

Assassin's Creed nailed Cesare apperance. He looks exactly like these paintings in the game.

Hey everyone! Scriptwriter Ben here, I hope you enjoyed today's video. If you'd like to learn more about the life and machinations of Alexander VI and his family, I highly recommend reading "The Borgias: Power and Fortune" by Paul Strathern. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information in this video

Wonderful job. I love the Horrible History song about the Borgias - an overview of murder and marriage set to the Adams Family theme. Edit: went back and watched it - I had forgotten poor Gioffre didn't sing. I guess to match the fact that he was so young when married off that he really didn't do much scheming himself.

Weirdly enough I first heard of the Borgia family back in the 90s when someone mentioned Lucretia Borgia on a rerun of Three's Company.

[danielsantiagourtado]

One lf the most infamous popes alright. His children were infamous too... And the fact he so openly had children

[baliyae]

I only know of Pope Alexander VI by watching the show The Borgias (which is awesome, by the way).

They said when the put him in the sarcophagus his body was 4x the size smelling putred barley could close the box they considered it all the sins he committed
