Day 6 : Favourite Portrayal(s) of the Tudor Family Member(s)

[thetudorslovers]

Two or three of her ladies-in-waiting were pretty. One danced well and another, Lucrezia’s cousin Angela Borgia, was charming. Without her knowing, El Prete had picked her as his favorite. Angela’s charm would be the source of great tragedy in Ferrara; even then it must have been one of the reasons for the nightly visits Alfonso’s brothers made to Lucrezia’s palace.

She was the illegitimate daughter of Guillem Ramon de Borja and Sanoguera, son of Otic de Borja y Montcada and his wife Violant Sanoguera. Her mother was Isabel de Montcada. She was also a niece of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, later Pope Alexander VI .In her youth she lived in Rome alongside her cousin Lucretia Borgia, whom she accompanied to Ferrara when she married Alfonso I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara 

Considered as a woman of great beauty, elegance, romantic, with an exquisitely feminine personality. She was absolutely trustworthy friend, confidant of the innermost secrets, favorite companion and assistant to her favorite cousin Lucretia. She won the praise of men of letters as Diomede Guidalotti who dedicated two sonnets to her, and even Ludovico Ariosto dedicated the last canto of Orlando Furioso to her. Pietro Bembo idealized her as an "angel that can pray for me." On 1 August 1504, in the dedication of his "Gli asolani" to the duchess Lucrezia Borgia refers back to his Angela, indicating that Lucrezia's cousin and maiden is "the dear and gallant Madonna Angela Borgia".

"Cecilia Gallerani was born in Milan in 1473, the daughter of Fazio, a doctor of law, descendant of a family of Sienese origin who had emigrated to Milan for political reasons at the time of the feud between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. After their initial fortunes Fazio came to be referendary to the now widowed duchess Bianca Maria the Gallerani family went through a period of economic difficulties. Therefore Cecilia, unable to afford expensive teachers, was educated by her mother, the highly cultured Margherita de' Busti, who managed to provide her with so much knowledge and inculcate so many interests that she became one of the most cultured, brilliant and refined women.

The beautiful Cecilia, dressed in blue and purple, a long necklace of black pearls around her neck, looked to her left with a sweet and severe expression at the same time, with just the slightest hint of a smile. His hair was styled according to a style that Leonardo himself - a multiform genius, capable of inventing innovations even in the field of cosmetics - had invented: a long plait, embellished with a thin black ribbon wrapped around his forehead, known as a 'coazzone'. The Moor could not take his eyes off what Cecilia had in her arms: an ermine. An ermine that looked in the same direction as its 'mistress', to whom it even vaguely resembled, and which she held with her right hand softly hooked, as if to grasp it."

Have her, please. If she’ll have you. BECOMING ELIZABETH 1.08 TO DEATH WE MUST STOOP

[lochiels]

I'm here to warn you. My husband is about to order you and all Florentine families expelled from the city. It's a trap. Once you're out of the city, he'll have you killed. Why would Riario's wife warn us?
