Alternately neglected and abused by her cruel husband, Lucrezia has an affair with Paolo, a handsome stable boy; Cesare strikes a bargain with Machiavelli: deny French troops passage across his masters' lands in exchange for suppression of Savonarola, a fiery preacher of anti-Medici sermons; in love with baroness Ursula, Cesare takes drastic action to get rid of her husband.

Although there has been a significant decrease in church intrigues at the expense of the amorous lives of the members of the Borgia family, I did not have to lower my evaluation. Not only was there no recitation of verses fueling passion, and the warm glances were kept in a tolerable amount, but also conspiracies were being forged that could easily rival those in the Vatican in the end.
