The Borgias were one of the most infamous Papal families in the Italian Renaissance. Coming from Spain/Aragon, the Borgias become a Papal family, and during the reign of Alexander VI, they were suspected of many crimes, including incest, adultery, nepotism, and poising.
Key word, suspected. Historians debate the allegations of the Borgias. Some believe them to be evil, some believe they don't deserve the reputation, and some is Ubisoft.
Personally, I think the Borgias don't deserve their reputation as evil. Sure they did some things like nepotism, a lot of Italian Renaissance families, like the Medici, or Farnese did the same.
But what were are your thoughts? Did the House of Borgia deserve their reputation? Did figures like Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia, or Lucrezia deserve their infamy? Or is there something to admire about the House of Borgia? What are your thoughts
