    Two things I want to know....when they did the canon ruse and when the church was hit by lightning in the Vatican killing those people...

    did those two events happen?

    Why did Cardinal Rovere kill the boy that offered to kill the Pope?

    I think he was trying to build his resistance up to the drug...so that perhaps when he became the official taster he may survive the poisoning attempt?

    I've done some reading on the actual history of the family...."sister did brother, father did daughter, father did son's girlfriend"....orgies at the Papal palace


    Oh MY!


    You'd think that the canon instance would be easy to find if King Louie actually was fooled during that war effort into Italy...

    this is from a history site talking about when the King of France went south, then retreated north to return home...


    "Returning to France, many of them, Charles included, took back another legacy from Italy - syphilis."

    The history books reinforce the story that Cesare was madly in love with Lucretia....to the point they had sex often and without shame in between her various marriages

    They have definitely hinted at that in the show, but that's as far as they have gone so far
