lmao yeah thats for damn sure! incest aparently wasnt disgusting back then!

I notice a lot of people here are pronouncing it caeser instead ot Cesare (the last e needs a ') Chezeray Borgia was a bit of a nasty man

I learned how to pronounce Cesare's name from one of the Borgia series: The European one, not the HBO one.

Whether or not the claims incest are historically accurate, the guy was pretty much a monster according to history.

yup, from wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesare_Borgia

Cesare was initially groomed for a career in the Church. He was made Bishop of Pamplona at the age of 15. Following school in Perugia and Pisa where Cesare studied law, along with his father's elevation to Pope, Cesare was made Cardinal at the age of 18.[7] Alexander VI staked the hopes of the Borgia family in Cesare's brother Giovanni, who was made captain general of the military forces of the papacy. Giovanni was assassinated in 1497 in mysterious circumstances: with several contemporaries suggesting that Cesare might have been his killer,[9] as Giovanni's disappearance could finally open him a long-awaited military career; as well as jealousy over Sancha of Aragon, wife of Cesare's other brother Gioffre, and mistress of both Cesare and Giovanni.[10] Cesare's role in the act, however, has never been clear.
