200/365

It is no secret that I prefer European history to American history. I find that the detailed history of Europe holds my interest much more than any stories of American history. I told you all of how I was watching Spartacus last week, and I finished it yesterday. After that show, I decided to pick up Showtime's The Borgias. The Borgias is a show that details the corruption of Pope Alexander VI and his four children. I have attempted to watch the show before, but found it boring as the history did not strike an interest in me. This time, I find it all a bit differently. 

Cesare, the eldest Borgia son, is a Cardinal or a member of the clergy at his father's will. Juan, the second eldest, is named the leader of the military in Rome. Lucrezia Borgia is the only daughter and known for her three marriages, eleven children and tendency to poison those that wronged her or her family. Gioffre is the youngest son and known for his marriage at the age of twelve to form a wall around Rome in aid to his father, the Pope. Now add in their mother, a courtesan, and many people who wish the Pope dead. 

It all adds up to drama, lots of death and affairs. Obviously, I enjoy it a lot. I do love a corrupted family. And Francois Arnaud that plays Cesare... I love him a lot too.
