Period Drama Appreciation Week (2022) Day 2 Favorite Character → Cesare Borgia in The Borgias (2011-2013) portrayed by François Arnaud

“I was born with a stain. A mark. Like the mark of Cain. It is the mark of my father, of my family...the mark of Borgia. I’ve tried to be other than I am...and I have failed.”

[avintage-soul]

" From Urbino Cesare wrote an affectionate Letter to Lucrezia, who was having a difficult pregnancy with her first child by Alfonso: " There could be no more salubrious nor more afficacious medicine for your present indisposition than the reception of good and happy tidings..." He hoped she would soon be better, for, as he wrote, " with your ilness we can find no pleasure in this news nor in anything else...", significa himself, " from your brother who loves you as himself". With all his other preoccupations Cesare worried enough about Lucrezia to send her his own doctor Torella, and on the 15th he wrote to a famous doctor at Cesena, Niccolo Masini, requesting him to go to Ferrara to consult with Torella about Lucrezia's case"

In Lucrezia’s uncertain and apprehensive state, the accumulation of things seemed to provide a sort of security against the future. Besides the innumerable wedding presents she had received, she was taking at least 200,000 ducats’ worth of household goods and clothing to Ferrara. There was silverware worth 3,000 ducats, jewels, fine linen, costly trappings for the horses, and in her wardrobe a trimmed dress worth 15,000 ducats, another worth 20,000 ducats, and a hat valued at 10,000 ducats. There were dresses of velvet and satin and brocade with hems of beaten gold. There were mantles lined with ermine and sable. The sleeves of several of her 200 shifts were trimmed in gold fringe, and these sleeves alone had cost thirty ducats each.

Although Ercole reported happily to the Pope that Alfonso and Lucrezia  'gave each other pleasure’, that did not mean they loved each other. It was a marriage of state, eagerly entered into by the one, reluctantly by the other. Lucrezia was not attracted by Alfonso’s rough ways and manners and reserved character, but she had achieved her ambition and she was determined to make a sucess of her career as Duchess of Ferrara. — Sarah Bradford, Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love and Death in Renaissance Italy
