The Borgia's were the top family in Rome, the father was the Pope...the most powerful man (I could say the world, but lets leave it as Europe at the time)
Of course power and corruption are going to intercede into their lives. This book was good, perhaps a little slow, and I am not really sure if Lucrezia is as innocent as she sounded in this book.
