Borgia	comment	Borgia, also known as Borgia: Faith and Fear, is a 2011 StudioCanal and EOS Entertainment production based on the rise and fall of the Borgia family in renaissance Italy. The series had three seasons and aired in Italy, France, Austria, Germany and Belgium as well as US and UK Netflix.In 1492 Italy is divided into warring states and at the centre lies Rome where the ageing Pope Innocent VIII rules. As Vice Chancellor of the College of Cardinals Rodrigo Borgia plans to use all his influence in order to become the next Pope and create a great dynasty. Following the death of his eldest son he summons his other children; Juan, Cesare and Lucrezia, back to Rome. Soon all three are embroiled in the plotting of the noble families and the church and the series follows their development from pawns to skilled players of the game.The series is notable for having at least two consecutive episodes directed by one director who then hands the series over to a new director, as well as for the variety of accents within the cast, a result of international casting.See also the rival 2011 Showtime series The Borgias (note the article and plural).

The series does enjoy delving into the casual brutality of the Renaissance era of Europe, however.

Borgia / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
Borgia / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: Juan is killed well before his actual death in 1497. Cesare and Alessandro were never sent to Florence to deal with Savonorola. The Laocoön and His Sons sculpture being discovered earlier than it really was so it can provide a metaphor of a father and his sons being dragged down by snakes. This doubles as Secret History as Rodrigo is so perturbed by the implication that he orders it reburied, presumably to be later rediscovered (and put on public display) by Julius II (aka Della Rovere). Giuila threatens Pantisilea with expulsion to Tierra del Fuego, which would only be first explored by Europeans 27 years later. Cesare Borgia presumably didn't fake his death and escape to the New World. Della Rovere wasn't homosexual - he had an illegitimate daughter (so not born out of "duty", nonetheless that he was a cardinal at the time so he wasn't even supposed to have a child of any kind), and it was common during history to frame someone of being gay, either as an insult or character assassination. Orsino Orsini, the husband of Giulia, died much later than in the series (1500, to be exact). Until this time Giulia and Orsino were married, which also means that they were married the whole time Giulia was the lover of Rodrigo, as the Real Life Rodrigo ditched Giulia in 1499/1500. Extending this, Giulia couldn't have been present at Rodrigo's death in 1503.

Cesare and Lucrezia never actually have sex—the definition of incest—but get very close to it multiple times.

The more-likely historical truth (that people made up rumors they were incestuous to hurt the Borgias) is also present in the story, and discussed. These rumors are an Accidental Truth, and predate their first kiss. Juan briefly tries to rape Lucrezia, until she blackmails him into stopping. In a later episode, Juan also claims that Lucrezia is "the only one" he loves. Lucrezia responds by (repeatedly) stabbing him.

Historical accuracy pertains to the details, while historicity is about sensibilities. While Borgia has about as much historical accuracy as you'd expect for a show of this sort, it has far more historicity than is usually expected.

Borgia / int_d246d18b	comment	Historical Relationship Overhaul: Although rumours circulated about all kinds of incest among the The Borgias in Real Life, none of these have any credibility, and are mostly made up by a former husband of Lucrezia Borgia. However, in this series, Lucrezia and her brother, Cesare, are quite close to incest several times. One time, after Lucrezia admits to killing Juan with her lover, Perotto, Cesare wants to "make the rumours true" about them (of incest), and proceeds to kiss Lucrezia, who agrees, and they almost have sex, but Lucrezia's lover Perotto discovers them. Lucrezia's other brother, Juan, attempts to rape her once, and claims that he "loves her the most". And then, we have Lucrezia's father (Pope Alexander VI, AKA Rodrigo Borgia), who has lustful thoughts about his daughter, once going as far as masturbating to a description of her by her lover. Fortunately, he realizes his sinful thoughts and admits them to Lucrezia who quickly forgives him. Della Rovere has several gay lovers in the series (and no female ones), particularly Fransesco. He wasn't gay in real life.

Borgia / int_e360ae63	comment	Reforged Blade: Cesare's Cool Sword—the one with Lucrezia's image on the base of the blade—is dramatically broken and then reforged. It's not a Lady's Favour exactly, but Cesare treats it as such, and after she gets it reforged for him that's even more true.

Borgia / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Lucrezia asks Cesare to not make her children orphans. Cesare, with Alfonso D'Este, organize Alfonso di Calabria's murder and takes all the blame, so Lucrezia would marry D'Este: with a stepfather the children aren't—technically—orphans.

Borgia / int_eba6a077	comment	Cain and Abel: Juan and Cesare. Subverted, because—just as it's really starting to look like Cesare was the one who killed Juan—it's revealed that he didn't. And then Double Subverted, because Juan's other sibling—his unsuspected, seemingly innocent little sister Lucrezia—did. Juan hired some assassins to kill Pedro Luis.

Borgia / int_f4f3252e	comment	Law of Inverse Fertility: Truth in Television for Lucrezia and Alfonso D'Este: after delivering two healthy sons before their marriage, Lucrezia has a long series of miscarriages and babies who died in infancy. Considering her value as Alfonso's wife is in her ability to bear an heir, the whole thing is not only devastating but dangerous to her position.
