Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was a siege at Forli and during it Caterina asked Cesare to parlay. She meant to capture him, but as he was entering the town, the drawbridge was raised too quickly, and Cesre jumped to safety. After the walls were breached, she and some followers barricaded themselves in a tower. It is sometimes reported that if she had fallen into Cesare's hands, he would have killed her, but she was captured by the French, whose chivalric code prevented them from executing a woman under those circumstances. She was imprisoned in Rome, and according to some sources. raped and beaten by Cesare. She was released by the Pope in 1501 after she had renounced all claims to Forli and other places. She died in 1509 from pneumonia.

What is always 'ignored' is the 'special treatment' meted out to the 'powerful' i.e. Caterina Sforza asked her chamberlain to ensure she would die at his hand rather than be placed into such as Ceasera Borgia....'but'....as all famous 'defeated' 'leaders' - her fate is not too harsh .... rather treated with 'respect' i.e. Feld marshal Friederich Paulus (Stalingrad) Robert E. Lee (Appamatox)....humiliated but accorded what her 'station' deemed her 'right'.....
Great series....should be recommended for history classes yet alas the 'gay' scenes render that a 'no go' but hey Hollywood does keep pushing its' agenda what?
