"The Borgias"

The Borgias were a wealthy family originally from NE Spain. They rose to prominence in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Through marriage and ruthless criminal acts they were able to secure a prominent role in Italian life. They were influential in political and ecclesiastical affairs, producing two popes and a saint. They gradually declined in the 17th century and had disappeared by about 1750.


The Borgias was also 2011 TV series produced by Showtime. It consisted of 29 episodes made over 3 seasons. It is a semi-historical account of the rise of the Borgia family. In the show there is plenty of their licentious behaviour on show, which is good from the FH point-of-view - plenty of bums and boobs. These caps are from the third season made in 2013.
