Although she had managed it with great discretion and admirable justice, it was a task requiring far greater strength of constitution--though neither of will nor mental ability--than she possessed to carry it out to her own satisfaction. Not only did the management of her children require her frequent superintendence--for it is indisputable that Lucrezia exercised over her offspring a far stricter surveillance, and took a greater personal interest in them, than at the present day is the fashion for princesses to exercise over their nurseries--but her health was in a very delicate condition, being continually subject to those attacks of low fever which seemed invariably to seize her with more or less severity whenever she attempted permanently to reside in Ferrara. Yet, notwithstanding these impediments, she appears to have been indefatigable in superintending

A LTHOUGH in the present day but little difference may be found in the habits and manners of the principal cities of Italy, it was far different in the days of Lucrezia Borgia. And great indeed must the. change have appeared to her from the disturbances, midnight assassinations, hypocrisy and intrigues of Rome, to the comparatively well-governed city of Ferrara. Although weighed in the balance with our municipal arrangements Ferrara might have been found wanting, when considered beside that of Rome its organization might have been regarded as perfect. Although possibly in Ferrara religion might have been too much mixed up with superstition, at any rate not only the dukes, but the nobles, burghers, and populace as well, entertained a high respect for the Church, although on more than one occasion they rebelled against any undue exercise of authority on the part of the clergy. Both Ercole and his son Alphonso were strict observers of all rites and ceremonies of the Church. In the year 1478 Ercole instituted the ceremony of lavanda, or public washing of feet of the pilgrims...

Lucrezia Borgia is among the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the Renaissance. The daughter of Pope Alexander VI, she was intensely involved in the political life of Italy during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. While her marriage alliances helped advance the political objectives of the papacy, she also held the office of Governor of Spoleto, a role normally reserved for Cardinals, making her one of the most powerful and dynamic female figures of the Renaissance. Among the first books to employ historical method to move beyond myth and romance that had obscured the fascinating story of Lucrezia Borgia was this biography written by the noted German historian Ferdinand Gregorovius. Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821-1891) was one of the preeminent scholars of the Italian Renaissance. His biography of Lucrezia Borgia reveals the atmosphere of the Renaissance, painting a portrait of Lucrezia and her relationships with her father Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, her brother Cesare, her mother Vanozza, her father’s mistress, Giulia Farnese, her husband Duke Alfonso D’Este of Ferrara, and many others, including important artists and writers of the time. All are vividly portrayed against the colorful background of Renaissance Italy. Gregorovius separates myth from documented fact and his book remains a key reference work on the life and times of the Borgia princess. This new edition of Gregorovius’s classic work Lucrezia Borgia is enhanced with an introduction by Samantha Morris, a noted expert on the history of the Borgias. Samantha studied archaeology at the University of Winchester where her interest in the history of the Italian Renaissance began. She is the author of Cesare Borgia: In a Nutshell and Girolamo Savonarola: The Renaissance Preacher. She also runs the website theborgiabull.com.
