The Borgias: The Hidden History by G.J. MeyerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Meyer has really differentiated himself in this book as we enter into the world of the Borgias where we have to question most of what we think we know. He tries to convince the reader the paternity of the various children long said to be his were not actually his. Now it sounds almost as delusional as a day out with the Richard III Fan club. However the evidence he presents does provide doubt especially since the contemporary documents of the period can be very untrustworthy for a multitude of reasons. I really liked this book about a flawed man that accomplished much more than could be ever expected of a Spanyard in Rome.
